Wisconsin remained at No. 4 in the latest Associated Press Top 25 poll, but the Badgers did gain 63 votes.
The Badgers were not moved down on any ballots, although did remain the same as last week on a number.
The highest Wisconsin was ranked was No. 2 - by three voters.
There were some big gains: Jason Franchuk of the Provo Daily Herald moved UW up nine spots, from 11 to 2, Dick Vitale of ESPN raised the Badgers six spots from 10 to 4 and Dave Borges of the New Haven Register moved UW up four spots from 12 to 7.
Even Jon Wilner moved Wisconsin up four spots, although he still has the Badgers at No. 13 - the lowest ranking for UW. Kevin Gorman (11) is the other to have UW outside the top 10.
Here's the complete list, dating back to the preseason in Week 1. Interesting (and dare I say fun?) to see the movements on each ballot.
