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.
