Wisconsin Badgers Football Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

EA Sports’ latest college football ratings have the Wisconsin Badgers getting overlooked, with no player hitting the coveted 90 overall mark—while Big Ten rivals dominate with dozens of elite scorers. Top Badgers like running back Abu Sama and cornerback Javan Robinson sit at 85, and even QB Colton Joseph (84 overall, 86 speed) and key defenders Mason Posa (80) and Cooper Catalano (73) feel underwhelming. But there’s upside: wideout Malachi Coleman and CB Bryce West shine with blistering speed ratings (95 and 94) and elite agility, proving EA sees their athleticism. Oddities like Chris Brooks Jr.’s 95 injury rating add humor, reminding fans these are just ini...

Wisconsin’s defense, led by Mike Tressel, has made surprising strides despite overall team struggles, jumping from 24th to 15th in key defensive rankings and doubling their sacks to tie for 12th nationally. Tressel’s play-calling earned him a top-four Big Ten ranking, praised for effectiveness even with varying team talent. Yet, glaring weaknesses remain—last in turnovers forced and 62nd in pass defense—highlighting areas needing urgent improvement. With what’s believed to be Tressel’s most talented group in Madison, the focus is on building on the progress while closing critical gaps.

Western Illinois enters 2026 with a rebuilding roster after losing key players, including their top rusher and leading tackler, but they’ve added promising transfers to fill the gaps. Despite finishing 4-8 last year, they ended strong with three wins in their final four games, hinting at potential improvement. Wisconsin, meanwhile, is expected to dominate this matchup, with a predicted score of 45-7 — a game the Badgers should handle with ease.

Colton Joseph is poised to be Wisconsin’s game-changing quarterback this season, boasting elite dual-threat skills after a standout year and a smooth transition into the new offense.

Still, fans are betting big on Joseph to turn the tide and deliver thrilling performances from the moment he steps onto the field.

Wisconsin’s football season ignites with a high-stakes showdown against Notre Dame at Lambeau Field — a rematch of sorts from 2016. While expectations differ, this opener will test the Badgers’ readiness. Notre Dame, still seething over their playoff snub last year, returns with a loaded roster but faces offensive voids after losing top running backs to the NFL. Quarterback CJ Carr, a potential Heisman candidate, leads a new-look offense bolstered by Ohio State receivers. Defensively, they’re stacked but need DJ McKinney to anchor the secondary. The Irish demand nothing less than a national title — anything short is a failure. Prediction...

A top-rated four-star tight end, Korz Lorken, committed to Wisconsin but now faces a major setback as his high school cancels its 11-player season, forcing him into an eight-player independent schedule — throwing his senior development off track. Lorken voiced frustration over the WIAA’s handling of the situation, even sharing faith in a bigger plan. With rumors swirling about transferring to another school, and other Wisconsin commits already recruiting him, his elite status remains intact — but how this disruption affects his immediate growth is now the big question.
