Wisconsin DB doesn't care where the Badgers are ranked: 'We want to be the best team in the country'

What team has been more impressive than Wisconsin this season?

Ohio State? Alabama? Maybe.

The Badgers have shutout four of their six opponents this season. That, folks, is insane. The defense is getting plenty of publicity and rightfully so.

On Monday, Wisconsin DB Faion Hicks talked about where his mindset is at right now with the Badgers being ranked No. 6 in the country:

"We don't even care about the rankings. We're not focused on that at all. We want to be the best team in the country."

This is exactly the mindset any player should have — especially a player on a team that is ranked highly. The ranking shouldn’t matter. What should matter is getting better and winning.

That’s exactly all that Wisconsin is doing right now.

The Badgers travel to face Illinois this coming Saturday.
