Wisconsin moves up in both AP Top 25, Amway Coaches Poll

The undefeated Wisconsin Badgers rose up in two major polls on Sunday.

Wisconsin (5–0) moved up to No. 7 in the AP Top 25 while bumping up even further in the Amway Coaches Poll up to No. 6 after its 38–17 win over Nebraska on Saturday night.

That’s a two-spot gain in both polls from No. 9 and No. 8 a week ago (AP and coaches, respectively), helped by losses from top-10 teams Oklahoma and Michigan.
