For the first time since week 6 of the 2021 season, Michigan is ranked outside of the top 10 in the AP Poll. Michigan started that season unranked but rose each week in the polls, getting to #9 following road wins over Wisconsin and Nebraska.

Michigan is now ranked 17th following a blowout loss to now #2 ranked Texas. The Longhorns jumped the Buckeyes, who fell to #3.

The Wolverines still must face Ohio State, Oregon who fell to #8 following a close win over Boise State, and a fast rising #11 USC.

Other ranked Big Ten teams include Penn State who stayed at #8 despite a close win over Bowling Green, and Nebraska who joined the rankings at #23 following a blowout win over Colorado
