There are still a few months until the Wisconsin Badgers’ opening game, but it is never too early to start analyzing the schedule.

The Wisconsin Badgers just concluded one of their main moments of the offseason, the Spring Game, and with summer soon approaching, the 2017-18 season starts to become more prevalent in our minds.

The Badgers’ schedule has been finalized for quite some time now, and at first glance appears severely softer than last year’s slate. This is no disrespect or knock on the teams the Badgers will face this season, as last year’s was one of their most stacked in recent memory.

As the season approaches, we take a look at how each game will test the Badgers and which game will be the supposedly easiest all the way to the toughest.

How it works is we will go in order of their schedule, understandably beginning with the non-conference portion all the way until the regular season finale. Games will be graded on a scale of 1-10, with (1) being the easiest and (10) being the most difficult. Multiple games may have the same rating, as this is not a ranking system.
