After the Georgia Bulldogs beat the Notre Dame Fighting Irish Saturday night, the top four in this week’s Associated Press Top 25 Poll remain unchanged. However, eight ranked teams had suffered losses — five to unranked teams. All of this provided the room for some changes in the rankings, and one team that benefited in a big way was Wisconsin.
Wisconsin moved from No. 13 up into the top 10 at No. 8 after its 35-14 win against Michigan on Saturday. As Michigan falls to from No. 11 to No. 20, Washington State, Arizona State and TCU dropped out of the Top 25.
