Wisconsin Football will begin season in Top 5 of AP poll

The Associated Press released its preseason Top 25 poll earlier today, and Wisconsin Football is definitely feeling the love from the voters.

The Badgers will begin the season as the No. 4 team in the country, and the top-ranked squad in the Big Ten.

Rounding out the Top 10, in order, are Washington, Oklahoma, Miami (FL), Auburn, and Penn State. The other Big Ten teams that earned spots in the Top 25 were Michigan State (11) and Michigan (14).

Wisconsin’s No.4 ranking matches the highest preseason ranking in program history.

Wisconsin even received one first-place vote, joining Alabama and Clemson as the only teams with that distinction.
