Football: Badgers, Big Ten join AP top 25 weeks ahead of season

As the University of Wisconsin begins their season along with the rest of the Big Ten on Oct. 24, they will enter the AP poll for the first time since January, when they finished the 2019 season ranked no. 11 after a loss to the University of Oregon in the Rose Bowl.

Currently, the AP poll is comprised of the usual suspects — programs like Alabama, Clemson, Georgia and Ohio State. With Wisconsin entering the fray at no. 19, just behind Oklahoma and right in front of LSU, the poll is shaken up a bit in terms of conference representation compared to the usual SEC dominance in the top 10.
