College football analysts and stats don’t give Wisconsin much of a chance of upsetting No. 4 Alabama SATURDAY.
At Badgers Wire we have described Wisconsin’s Largest Keys to a surprise victory and why Wisconsin can win. But nationally, few people give the Badgers much of a chance. It’s likely that someone will create a screenshot from College GameDay where the entire panel picks the same team to win (Alabama).

ESPN FPI captures the national mood heading into Saturday’s big game. FPI and ESPN Analytics currently give Alabama a 92.2% chance to win, with Wisconsin at 7.8%.
These figures are significantly lower than ESPN FPI’s forecasts in the pre-season (Wisconsin at 18.7%) and after week 1 (Wisconsin at 9.4%). It’s safe to assume that the stats weren’t impressed by the Badgers’ slow start to the season.
The beauty of sports: Pregame projections don’t mean much once the game starts. College football is defined by upsets and surprising results. The Badgers have a chance to shock the sports world with a win Saturday afternoon.
