Wisconsin football drops in the latest Associated Press Top 25 Poll

Where does the Associated Press rank Wisconsin football heading into week 2?

The Associated Press released its top 25 poll on Tuesday afternoon, and the Wisconsin Badgers (1-0) dropped one spot in the rankings.

After a convincing 38-0 victory over the Illinois State Redbirds this past weekend, the Wisconsin Badgers fell to No. 19 in this week’s AP Top 25 Poll after beginning the season at No. 18.

Wisconsin football was one of four Big Ten programs ranked in the latest AP Top 25 Poll, a list that also included Ohio State (No. 3), Michigan (No. 4), and Michigan State (No. 14).

Penn State, Minnesota, and Purdue also received votes, just missing the cut.

Paul Chryst and the Badgers will remain home this week, hosting the Washington State Cougars (1-0) at Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
