The latest Coaches Poll was released Sunday, and Wisconsin is listed at No. 24 after the Badgers cruised to a 41-10 victory over Purdue on Saturday. Meanwhile, Michigan State found itself on the outside looking in after the Spartans dropped a heartbreaking 17-13 decision at Notre Dame.
Michigan dropped three spots from No. 14 to No. 17 after an uninspiring 24-21 come-from-behind win over UConn. Ohio State and Northwestern both stayed put, at No. 3 and No. 16, respectively.
