Despite enjoying the week off, the Wisconsin Badgers still rose one spot in USA TODAY's 1-138 re-rank.

Each and every week, Paul Myerberg ranks the 138 teams in college football, and the latest edition saw UW come in at No. 32.

Wisconsin is now ranked ahead of Florida, a team that fell 17 spots and clearly had everyone fooled thinking they'd be a College Football Playoff contender.

With the top 30 within reach, the Badgers know a road win at UCLA would do wonders for this program.

It would be Luke Fickell's second signature win of the season, and would come at the expense of a Bruins team that went from No. 18 to No. 9.

UCLA is officially in the top 10, and they were one of the biggest risers in the nation after their 17-15 win at Oregon.

For reference,

the Ducks fell from No. 11 to No. 27.
