Wisconsin football: the Badgers climb in the polls despite not playing

While the Wisconsin Badgers did not play an actual game this weekend, they did have a significant loss with the announcement of Jack Coan’s apparent foot injury.

The negative outcome of Coan’s injury can not be overstated, but off the field Wisconsin saw improved positioning in the newest release of both the Coaches Poll and AP-Poll.

Still sporting a 0-0 overall (0-0 B1G) record, the Badgers now stand at No. 14 in the updated Coaches Poll, while they also climbed to No. 16 in the AP-Poll.

While that upward trend is definitely a positive for Wisconsin, the wild Saturday in college football resulted in some significant shake ups across the rankings.
