After a devastating blowout loss to the now No. 7 Notre Dame Fighting Irish, the Wisconsin Badgers have dropped from No. 15 to unranked in the latest USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll.
Wisconsin was not the only team to drop from the top 15 to unranked, as Iowa State also went unranked after their loss to Baylor on Saturday. It will be a tough road back into the AFCA Coaches Poll, as the Badgers will have to face No. 14 Michigan next weekend.
Other than the Badgers, every other ranked Big Ten team has moved up in this week’s poll including Michigan and Michigan State both moving up five spots to No. 14 and No. 16. Ohio State climbed back to No. 10, while Penn State and Iowa moved up to No. 6 and No. 5.
The USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll top 10 for this week is Alabama(1), Georgia(2), Oregon(3), Oklahoma(4), Iowa(5), Penn State(6), Notre Dame(7), Cincinnati(8), Florida(9) and Ohio State(10).
The Badgers will face off next against the Michigan Wolverines at Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 2 at 11 a.m CDT.
