Michigan Wolverines football (5-0, 2-0 Big Ten) destroyed Wisconsin (1-3, 0-2) in Madison Saturday afternoon, 38-17, and made a jump into the top 10 in the brand new Associated Press Top 25 rankings.

The Wolverines have a tough schedule ahead, which includes three opponents that are currently ranked — at No. 11 Michigan State (Oct. 30), at No. 4 Penn State (Nov. 13) and versus No. 7 Ohio State (Nov. 27).

No. 3 Iowa, which beat Maryland in blowout fashion Friday night, is the only other Big Ten team to make an appearance in the rankings.
