Wisconsin jumped three spots to No. 19 in the BCS standings released Sunday night. The Badgers handily dispatched Indiana Saturday, and that big win resulted in a boost Wisconsin sorely needed to maintain hopes of landing an at-large BCS bid. For that to happen, Wisconsin will need to finish within the top 14 of the BCS standings.
Ahead of the Badgers lies UCLA at No. 14, followed by Fresno State, Northern Illinois, Arizona State and UCF. More good news for Wisconsin could be found in the inclusion of Minnesota, which checks in at No. 25 and hosts the Badgers in the Battle for Paul Bunyan's Axe Saturday. Another big win could put Wisconsin right on the edge of that top-14 territory, with the regular-season finale coming against Penn State Thanksgiving weekend.
Also of note: Ohio State remained at No. 3 despite a somewhat clumsy showing vs. Illinois; Stanford remains in the top 10 (No. 9) despite losing to USC and Michigan State also jumped three spots, to No. 13.
