Those of us who vote in the BlogPoll Top 25 participated in an early 2012 version and the Badgers ended up No. 14.
Apparently, I'm not giving Wisconsin enough credit. I ranked UW No. 18 and ended up with the second lowest "biased score", which measures the difference between where a team is ranked compared to where the blogger representing that team ranked them.
Here's my full ballot (and yes, I have Purdue ranked):
