Not only did the Wisconsin Badgers receive votes in the US LBM Coaches Poll, but they also received some in the AP Poll.
UW received far more in the AP Poll than they did in the US LBM Coaches Poll, and it's crazy to think this upset in Happy Valley has them one spot shy of being ranked.
Of the teams that received votes outside of the top 25, Wisconsin came in first with 102 votes.
The Badgers were one of two teams in triple-digits, and notably the team behind them was Duke, not Penn State.
Others receiving votes: Wisconsin 102, Duke 101, Penn State 98, Wake Forest 88, Virginia Tech 86, Michigan 54, Pittsburgh 52, Nebraska 36, Louisville 25, Cincinnati 20, James Madison 10, Arizona 8, Minnesota 7, North Dakota State 6, Northwestern 1https://t.co/bM9dhWQ0Jk

The Nittany Lions received 98 votes, but were wiped out of the AP Top 25 entirely at the hands of the Badgers.
Missouri holds the final spot at No. 25, though they fell six spots so are in danger of exiting in the next poll if they don't turn things around.
Wisconsin improved to 3-1 on the year and will host 2-2 Michigan State on Saturday, Oct. 3.
