Looks like the Wisconsin Badgers will be staying in the top 10 before next week’s showdown against Northwestern.
After its early-season bye, Wisconsin (3–0) dropped to No. 10 in the AP Top 25 but stayed in that spot in the Amway Coaches Poll.
The Badgers were listed as No. 9 and No. 10 last week in the AP and coaches polls, respectively, after their 40–6 win at BYU last weekend.
SB Nation’s Bill Connelly has Wisconsin at No. 5 in his latest S&P+ rankings (“with preseason carrying varying weight”), No. 7 “if there were no preseason projections,” and Jason Kirk placing the Badgers in the College Football Playoff.
