Miami_da_U	3	Didn't change from Pre-Season. I'm not gunna be changing too much until the week 4 ballot, so they'll stay at 3 until then at least (unless something really unexpected happens.) But if tOSU is kicking ass still by then, they'll probably be moving on down. Tier 2 team.
monkeymatt1836	3	Wisconsin hit cruise control at half time against Western Kentucky winning 34-3. Heisman hopeful RB Jonathan Taylor had 145 yards and a pair of TDs. 
noahthearc	3	No Change. Wisconsin handled Western Kentucky, looking especially good on defense.

standrew5998	3	I'll be honest, I'm still expecting more from Wisconsin. The run game looked good, Hornibrook looked sharp, etc. Something just doesn't look totally right. I don't know, we'll know more when they play Iowa.

moistats_	4	Wisconsin rounded off the top 4 due to their strong win against WKU, a blowout to say the least. The defense was top-notch and their offense was moving the ball quickly. There is so much talent and experience to show from this team that anything below NY6 may be disappointing. My only gripe is their weak OOC schedule, so we'll have to wait until the Big Ten to see what's really up with the Badgers.

captain_sasquatch	5	I'm not horny for Hornibrook but the Badgers are the clear favorite in the West. They did exactly what everyone thought they were going to do against WKU and are going to do exactly what most people think they're going to do this year: win out and lose by 30+ in the B1G Championship.
CarbonCamaroZL1	5	The score may not have been anything extravagant like some of the SEC teams, however it was never even a consideration that Western Kentucky could come back. The game was over from 2nd quarter.
CFSparta92	5
chrisb19	5	I didn't watch this game but it seemed like another typical Wisconsin performance. They won't be tested until conference play.

woakley	5	Dominant Win against Western Kentucky. Nothing too impressive in the victory, but nothing to make me think they deserve to be lower. Only dropping here because of the dominance of Oklahoma in their game

bgr308	6	Wisconsin RB Jonathon Taylor and QB Alex Hornibrook had good performances Saturday against WKU as the Badgers knocked off the Hilltoppers 34-3. Wisconsin should still be the favorite to win the B1G West, but will have to go through Iowa City, Ann Arbor, and Happy Valley to get there. 
Blooblod	6	Little to no movement.

Charlemagne42	6	Moving up to vacate spaces left by losing teams. Strong win, but against a weak team. Need more data.
Chris-P-Creme	6
CoopertheFluffy	6	We just didn't look right.  The score did not reflect how much ground our defense gave up. The game exposed serious issues with our passing game. I believe we could have scored twice as many points if we decided to use Taylor more, but we won't just be able to run against big opponents, so we need the Heismanbrook we know and love back.

nickknx865	6	Defaulting to my computer rating here since I wasn't able to catch much of the Western Kentucky game but 34-3 seems like the most Wisconsin scoreline ever against an overmatched opponent.

A-Stu-Ute	7	They won, but it wasn't as impressive as the others here in terms of offense, which doesn't mean Wisconsin is bad by any means but we'll see what happens when they face tougher defenses.
