On the heels of a Week 2 rout of Tennessee Tech, Wisconsin jumped one spot to No. 20 in the AP Top 25 released Sunday.
Four other Big Ten teams made the poll, including Ohio State (No. 4), Michigan (No. 11), Northwestern (No. 17) and Nebraska (No. 23). Michigan in particular enjoyed a sizable jump, climbing six spots from last week after a Saturday night 41-30 win over Notre Dame. Nebraska also fell one spot despite beating Southern Miss, 56-13.
