The Badgers are ranked fairly high in the long-awaited college football game.
The long-awaited EA College Football 25 video game is set to debut later this month, and we saw the first glimpse of the Wisconsin Badgers featured earlier this offseason in the game’s trailer.
More recently, EA dropped their Top 25 rankings heading into the upcoming season, providing the overalls for each team, and the Badgers found themselves at No. 18 with an 87 overall.

While the rankings certainly sparked controversy, the Big Ten was well represented in the Top 25, as seven teams cracked the group.
Wisconsin came in ranked fifth in the conference behind Ohio State (No. 2, 93 overall), Oregon (No. 3, 93 overall), Penn State (No. 9, 88 overall), and Michigan (No. 11, 88 overall).
Additionally, the Badgers ranked slightly ahead of USC (No. 19, 87 overall), and Iowa (No. 25, 87 overall) in the Top 25.
Wisconsin’s ranking was supported by a defense ranked No. 15 in the game, which was sixth in the conference, while their offense was outside of the Top 25.
