How they voted: Badgers in AP poll (Week 8)
Wisconsin's win over Northwestern was impressive enough to get the Badgers back in the Associated Press Top 25 poll. The Badgers went from 29 votes in Week 7 to 153 votes this past week.
Last week only nine voters cast a ballot for Wisconsin; this week it was 35.
No one had Wisconsin higher than 18, although two of the four voters who did so didn't rank the Badgers last week. Another who had UW unranked in Week 7 put the Badgers at No. 19.
