Week 11 college football rankings: Wisconsin No. 24 in BCS standings

The Badgers enjoyed small jumps in all three polls, though the BCS computers once again kept them at No. 24.

Update, 7:53 p.m.: Finally, the BCS standings are out. Wisconsin remains at No. 24, while Ohio State is No. 4 again and Michigan State jumps five spots to No. 17. Outside of the Big Ten, Florida State is back in the top two, as Oregon drops to No. 3.

Update, 4:49 p.m.: The Harris Poll, which also factors into the BCS with the coaches poll, is now out. Wisconsin is No. 22 there after jumping two spots. The full poll is included below.

After an imperfect but rewarding win over Iowa Saturday, Wisconsin jumped one spot in both the USA TODAY Coaches Poll and AP Top 25 released Sunday.

The coaches poll, which factors into the BCS rankings that will be released at 7:40 p.m. CT Sunday, has Alabama once again No. 1 overall. The top five behind it remains unchanged, including Ohio State at No. 4. Michigan State is the next ranked Big Ten team, jumping five spots to No. 19 after handily defeating Michigan Saturday. Wisconsin then settles in at No. 22, a one-spot climb from the previous week.

In the AP Top 25, that order is the same, except with Michigan State and Wisconsin each one spot higher, at Nos. 18 and 21, respectively.

Ramifications for bowl season will become clearer once the latest BCS standings are out, but Wisconsin remains on track to battle for an at-large BCS bid. In his latest bowl predictions, SB Nation's Jason Kirk once again has the Badgers in the Orange Bowl as the top-ranked at large BCS bid, against Florida State.
