But of course, we were more talented than Iowa, Indiana, Maryland, and Nebraska last year, too. Or Minnesota the year before. Or MSU before that. Or Kentucky. And so forth. And we beat Michigan teams that were arguably more talented than us. So, there are obvious limitations to that metric.
Wisconsin will be very good defensively, and Jalen Berger showed flashes of being very good last year. If Mertz regains his swagger and the Wisconsin run game clicks, they could be a typical 9 to 10-win Wisconsin team. That game will be a seriously tough opening day test.
