Wisconsin just went from stagnant and 49th to alive and 29th. It's hard to jump 20 spots in Week 9.

With Minnesota's loss, that makes tomorrow's B1G win projections post pretty interesting. Nebraska's obviously the West favorite at this point, but I'm curious what this performance did for the Badgers' chances.

This outcome was even more impressive considering how questionable Wisconsin's quarterbacking remains. Alex Erickson had five catches for 121 yards, but ... a 15 percent passing downs (non-garbage time) success rate is still awful. And they still won by 45.
