Wisconsin absent, four Big Ten teams in top 10 in latest LBM USA Coaches Poll after Week 10 – Badgers Wire

Wisconsin lost to Iowa 42-10 on Saturday, dropping to 5-4 on the season and 3-3 in Big Ten play.

The loss was the Badgers’ second in a row, halting their momentum from a three-game winning streak midway through the season.

The LBM USA Coaches Poll is conducted weekly during the college football regular season, and the Badgers are already far from even secondary consideration.

After week 10, the top five changed slightly. Oregon stayed at the top after beating Michigan, Georgia stayed at No. 2 after beating Florida, Ohio State jumped up after beating Penn State, while Miami-FL and Texas rounded out the top five. Also in the top 10 are Penn State (#7) and Indiana (#10).
