Only 194 days separate us from the start of the 2024 college football season.

The year brings some continuity for the Wisconsin Badgers. Both head coach Luke Fickell and offensive coordinator Phil Longo are back for a second year leading the program. There are some differences for the Badgers, none bigger than Miami transfer Tyler Van Dyke starting under center.

The year brings a combination of promise for the Badgers paired with a brutal schedule.

For the Big Ten as a whole, there are significant changes. USC, UCLA Oregon and Washington enter a conference structure that no longer includes divisions. The interest in the conference should rise, along with the competition level for schools such as Wisconsin, Iowa and Nebraska.

We have already power-ranked every program in the Big Ten Conference and predicted the win-loss record of each team in 2024.

Here are FanDuel Sportsbook‘s newly released win totals for every Big Ten team entering 2024:

Purdue Boilermakers -- 4.5 wins
