Even though the Wisconsin Badgers were able to close out their season with a victory in the Las Vegas Bowl, they were not able to sneak into the final USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll. The Badgers finished as the second team receiving votes with 75.
Besides Wisconsin, there was movement among all of the Big Ten teams included in the final poll. Iowa fell seven spots to No. 7 and Michigan fell one spot to No. 3. Ohio State and Michigan State both moved up two spots to No. 5 and No. 8.
The last USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll top 10 for this season includes Georgia(1), Alabama(2), Michigan(3), Cincinnati(4), Ohio State(5), Baylor(6), Oklahoma State(7), Michigan State(8), Notre Dame(9) and Oklahoma(10).
It will be interesting to see where Wisconsin will be ranked to start next season, especially with many of the key members of the defense moving onto the NFL Draft.
