Update, 3:52 p.m.: And the Harris Poll, which also factors into the BCS rankings that will be released later tonight, is now embedded below. Wisconsin is ranked No. 24.
---
Wisconsin enjoyed a well-timed bye this weekend, and a minor added bonus comes in the form of a one-spot climb in the AP Top 25 released Sunday. The Badgers are No. 23 in the media poll, which doesn't count for the BCS rankings. Just the Harris and the Coaches Polls do, and Wisconsin remained at No. 22 in the latter.
Ohio State remains the highest-ranked Big Ten team in the polls, followed by Michigan, Wisconsin and Michigan State. The coaches poll has Wisconsin behind Michigan and ahead of Michigan State, while the AP poll has the Badgers above both.
Wisconsin travels to Iowa this Saturday, with an 11 a.m. kick.
