To no surprise, a disastrous loss in Iowa City has made voters no longer believe in the Wisconsin Badgers.
While UW was never ranked in the US LBM Coaches Poll, it's going to take even more of a heroic effort down the stretch for that to become a reality.
In the Nov. 1 poll, Wisconsin received just three votes, the fifth fewest of any non-ranked team.
That technically makes them the No. 37-ranked team in the nation, but that's nowhere near good enough for a team that was coming off such a dominant win over USC.
For reference, the Trojans' victory against Ohio State pushed them up to No. 17, and even the Hawkeyes are back in the top 20.
