6. Paul Chryst – Wisconsin Badgers

It is never sexy, but The Badgers just continue to win and be a force in the Big Ten under Chryst who will be entering his eighth season as the head coach in 2021.

They have won the Big Ten West in three of the last five seasons which resulted in Orange and Cotton Bowl victories and a heartbreaking Rose Bowl defeat in 2019.

They have run into Ohio State and Penn State Football in those Big Ten Championship games and the inability to defeat those schools would be the one knock on Chryst.

The badgers will get a shot at the Nittany Lions in week 1 of next season, however Chrsyt has proven he has built one of the more successful programs in the country in Madison.
