While the Wisconsin Badgers did not play this past weekend, that did not stop them from receiving several votes in the latestUS LBM Coaches Poll.
UW received 39 votes, which once again puts them in the conversation, but everyone knows the only way for them to get ranked by the next set is to defeat UCLA.
Those 39 votes make Wisconsin the 30th-ranked team in the country, placing them under other receiving-votes schools like Northwestern (107), Arizona (92), Nebraska (74), and Oklahoma (50).
