Wisconsin inches closer and closer to Top 10 ranking
Wisconsin just continues to show why it has a real chance to do some damage this postseason.
The Badgers scored their biggest win of the season this past weekend, blitzing Purdue on the road. They were rewarded in the latest AP and Coaches Poll Top 25s, moving up to 11th in both.
Wisconsin is the highest-ranked Big Ten team, as they lead a pack that includes Michigan, Michigan State and Purdue directly behind them.
Auburn is the consensus No. 1 followed by Florida, Duke, Alabama, Houston, Tennessee, Texas A&M and Iowa State.
