The expectations for the University of Wisconsin football team were raised considerably when the Badgers added transfer quarterback Russell Wilson from North Carolina State. That was confirmed in the first USA Today coaches? poll, which was released on Thursday. The Badgers are 10th in the poll, the highest-ranked Big Ten Conference team, one spot ahead of newcomer Nebraska at 11th. Five Big Ten teams are in the poll, with Ohio State at No. 16, followed by Michigan State (17) and Penn State (25).
