Where Michigan Football Ranks In New AP, Coaches Polls
Michigan football is at No. 4 in both the AP & Coaches Polls.
The AP's top-four is unchanged as Georgia, Ohio State, Tennessee & U-M remain unbeaten.
However, the Volunteers, who ranked 3rd a week ago, are tied with the Buckeyes, making both teams No. 2, leaving U-M at 4th.
In the Coaches Poll, Tennessee leapfrogged the Wolverines for the 3rd spot.
Elsewhere in the Big Ten, Penn State dropped three spots in both polls from No. 13 to No. 16.
Illinois (No. 14/No. 13) is the only other ranked Big Ten team after a dominant road win at Nebraska. A week before Michigan travels to Columbus to play at No. 2 Ohio State, the Illini travel to Ann Arbor. Suddenly, that could be a top 10 matchup — OK, Brett Bielema.
The top 10 in both polls is rounded out by a combination of Clemson (No. 5), Alabama (No. 6), TCU (No. 7), Oregon (No. 8), and USC (No. 9). UCLA (AP) & Ole Miss (Coaches) each earned a top 10 spot.
Here's a look at both polls:
