A Week 7 loss for the Wisconsin Badgers has pushed them out of the AP Poll entirely.
Previously, this was a Badgers team that had the most votes of any unranked team in the country, but the UCLA Bruins had something to say about that on Saturday, Oct. 17.
UW's 17-7 loss was eye-opening, to say the least, and they may have still received votes in the US LBM Coaches Poll
, but that wasn't the case in the AP Top 25.The Bruins increased three spots, jumping to No. 9, and Wisconsin's Week 8 opponent, the USC Trojans, went from No. 19 to No. 16 despite enjoying the week off.
The Badgers' Week 9 opponent, Iowa, also went up two spots, so they're now at No. 15.
This is a grueling three-week stretch for Luke Fickell's squad, and it'll be interesting to see
how they look on Saturday, Oct. 24, against a well-rested Trojans team.
