Ranked #23

Submitted by BlueMarrow on September 27th, 2015 at 11:33 AM

Michigan is not ranked in the new coaches poll, unofficially 26th (first in the receiving votes category). Somehow 2-2 Oregon is still ranked at 24.

Maybe I'm still shellshocked from those early season RichRod rankings that always collapsed, but I really think it's too early in the season for rankings to matter.

Example: Bronco Mendenhall saying Michigan's the best team his team has played, and that includes highly ranked UCLA.

We don't know if he's right or if that's just talk after having been clobbered.

I'd say it's talk based on the fact that they got clobbered by one team and not the other. Doesn't mean we'd beat UCLA. Just means what we put on the field against BYU was better than what UCLA put on the field against BYU.

...Cal, Northwestern, Ok. State, and W.Va., at least based on 4 games of data, so I would put Michigan at #19.

But those teams are still undefeated, so it is not surprising to see them ranked ahead of 1 loss Michigan.

Still early in the season. Time will reveal all...

At this point that Utah loss looks pretty good to me. Wish we wouldn't of had all those turnovers in that game. Maybe we can have a rematch? Lol

and not influenced by meaningless pre-season polls. not sure how you can put OSU or MSU ahead of Utah or UCLA based on games played so far.

I was having a bad morning until I saw the polls. They gave me a good laugh.

The truth is that Michigan is one of the more improved teams in the country after opening the season with a 24-17 loss at Utah, a top-10 team as we move into October. The Wolverines have run for more than 200 yards in every game since that loss and have given up a total of 14 points in their last three games.

The quote is glowing certainly. As they mention at the end of the commentary for Michigan, it is a winning combination and hopefully it continues.

Brad Edwards had us at #19, as did Ryan McGee of ESPN The Magazine, but #22 and #23 were the most common ranking. A few analysts were being inordinately kind to Oregon by actually ranking them too.
