Sportsline, ESPN, and FOXSports all have their "Ridiculously early preseason poll" up for next year, and the Badgers are 23, 24, and 25 in them. Each one has Purdue in the top 10 (one had them at #3), then Michigan State in the top 15, and Ohio State around 20. Not that they actually mean much, but if they're that consistent with putting the Badgers fourth in the Big Ten...
They'll all be contistently suprised when the Badgers finish better then fourth in the Big Ten. I liked Gary Parrish's reasoning for why he put the Badgers at 23: "At some point this season I promised myself I would never put a Bo Ryan team lower than 23 in a preseason poll. It's that simple." So the Badgers have gotten into perennial Top 23 teams. Now Bo can work on getting into the Top 20 ones.
