Illinois drops in latest USA TODAY Sports Coaches poll after an upset loss to Michigan State:

The Wisconsin Badgers won their first back-to-back games this season, after defeating the Maryland Terrapins in the rain on Saturday but were still not included in the latest USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

Illinois tumbled seven spots in the latest poll to No. 20 after their upset loss to the Michigan State Spartans. The Penn State Nittany Lions were on a bye this week but moved up one spot to No. 15 because of Illinois’ dramatic fall.

The Badgers will continue for a shot at the Big Ten West title this week, as they head on the road to face the Iowa Hawkeyes.
