Luke Fickell ranks 40th in CBS Sports college football coach rankings ahead of Bill Belichick, Sherrone Moore

The Wisconsin Badgers' lack of success in 2024 is being reflected in how the national college football media views its head coach.

Luke Fickell has taken his own fall from grace in the latest rankings of college football head coaches from CBS Sports.

He lands down at No.

40, a major drop from where he ranked a year ago in the list voted on by the outlet's writers.

40.

Wisconsin Fickell had a relatively narrow range of votes from the CBS writers, with his highest vote at No.

38 and his lowest at No.

48.

He comes in 12th among Big Ten coaches, ahead of names like Greg Schiano and Sherrone Moore.

Fickell was only one spot behind Washington's Jedd Fisch and eight spots behind Nebraska's Matt Rhule.

Other big names that he ranked better than include Manny Diaz (Duke), Billy Napier (Florida), Hugh Freeze (Auburn), Brent Venables (Oklahoma) and Bill Belichick (North Carolina).

It goes to show that things could be worse for Fickell, and his fall from the Top 20 is reminder of what he's capable of returning to at Wisconsin.
