Riding a three-game winning streak, the University of Wisconsin football team moved into the USA Today coaches? poll and BCS standings at No. 25 and moved to the fringe of The Associated Press rankings. The Badgers (6-2) are one of just two Big Ten Conference teams ranked in the coaches? poll, with Michigan at No. 20 there and in the AP poll. Because it is serving a one-year bowl ban, Ohio State (8-0) is ineligible for that poll, although the Buckeyes check in at No. 9 in the AP poll. Wisconsin is the third team receiving votes in the media poll, the equivalent of being ranked No. 28.
