After another week of split results against Penn State and Illinois, the Wisconsin Badgers continued to fall to No. 21 in the latest Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.
Although the Badgers looked dominant in their game against the Penn State Nittany Lions, Wisconsin could not find any answers for the scoring of Kofi Cockburn and Ayo Dosumnu against the Fighting Illini losing by 15 points. It will be important for Wisconsin to play well on Thursday against Nebraska, before playing No. 3 Michigan at the Kohl Center on Feb. 14.
The Big Ten stated its dominance in the latest Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll with three teams included in the top 10. Michigan, Ohio State and Illinois have all moved up this week to No. 3, No. 5 and No. 10, while Iowa has continued their plummet from the top 10 to No. 16. Purdue also makes an appearance in the latest poll at No. 25, because of their upset victory against Minnesota last week.
