I will probably bump it later in the day to discourage too much overlap - if someone is going to do such a thread, it is probably better started once the AP and Coaches poll are out so we can just start with those and run from there. We'll let a few individual threads stand for now though and use the original one as the summary later.

would rather be #2 than #1. Pressure going to be high enough over next few weeks without being ranked #1.
Truly believe we are one of the two best teams in the country. Amazing the turnaround from where we were just two years ago.
Go Blue!!!

Hugh Freeze has spent a ton of cash on players and he is not getting his money's worth.

And we have more wins over teams in the Top 25 than Alabama, Clemson, Washington or any other playoff contender. Just something to note regarding our supposedly soft 7-0 start.
EDIT: Oops, I thought Penn State would be in there. This should be true when/if Penn State sneaks into the AP Top 25.
October 23rd, 2016 at 2:02 PM ^
A 5-2 team that just beat #2 should be somewhere in the 15-25 range. Depends on if they need to make room for Ole Miss though
October 23rd, 2016 at 2:06 PM ^
And Penn State is in at #24, good call. Most wins over current Top 25 teams in the country for Michigan.
October 23rd, 2016 at 1:23 PM ^
What jackhole is still voting us #8? Scott Frost, is that you?
And at least one voter has Nebraska unranked. I mean, really.
Aaaand... Ohio State still has a #2 vote. I'm going to assume that guy turned in his ballot sometime before 11:30pm last night.

Yes, you are correct. Whoopsies.

Right you are. My bad.

Only thing we can control is our record, and this team is taking care of business. Right on track! Great to see the rankings climb though.

Phil Fulmer must really like the color orange.
October 23rd, 2016 at 1:43 PM ^
with Clemson's luck out OT win at home last week vs. NC State, pretty silly for Clemson to receive a first place vote and so many second place votes after a bye, but fortuneately it does not matter that much yet. We keep winning an we will be fine.

Well, they don't make their votes public till the final poll of the year, so they may be brass colored, but they're made of Charles Dickens' gruel.

Houston just got dominated by a 2-4 SMU team and there still in the top 25. What am i missing here?
October 23rd, 2016 at 1:32 PM ^
It's the coaches poll. Herman is a rockstar coach.
October 23rd, 2016 at 1:28 PM ^
Texas A&M is one spot ahead of Wisconsin while Wisconsin dropped one spot?
Houston has no busness in the Top 25 any longer...
October 23rd, 2016 at 1:33 PM ^
Penn State has a significantly more impressive resume than Houston.
Houston should 100% be unranked. It's insane they are. Although the Coaches' Poll is meaningless. So we'll see what AP says.

Does Grobe stay at Baylor (he should) or does he become a hot commodity?
October 23rd, 2016 at 1:40 PM ^
Jim Grobe is 64 and has a mediocre track record, so he will never be a hot commodity. Maybe he stays at Baylor to stabilize the culture, but that's it for him.
October 23rd, 2016 at 1:31 PM ^
Only one point above Clemson. Wonder if the AP will match the coaches (assistants) poll?
Lots of people are on the Clemson bandwagon despite the fact they could easily have 2 losses, one to an unranked team. No unranked team has come within 20 points of Michigan, and some ranked teams haven't either.
Also, there's lots of media slappy momentum for the ACC getting two teams in so that their darling Lamar Jackson can get in because, gosh, he has all those passing stats and that's what really counts. Defense and the running game are boring, so lets just discount those.
October 23rd, 2016 at 1:31 PM ^
Our SOS really took a boost up this week. Colorado (who should now be ranked this week), Wisconsin (top 10) and destroying Penn State (who obviously just beat OSU)...
October 23rd, 2016 at 1:32 PM ^
LOL @ Nebraska rising 3 spots after being down to Purdue, at home, at halftime.
Huskers are about to get their doors blown off in Madison
October 23rd, 2016 at 1:35 PM ^
Not only are they going to get destroyed in Madison, they're going to get killed in Columbus. It's going to get VERY ugly.

but I would love to see Nebraska fluke in to the B1G Championship game where we could obliterate them.
I think we would beat UW again, but always difficult to beat the same team twice in a season, especially one with a good defense and solid coaching.

Just win!

No first place votes in the coaches poll. Bunch of dips. I'd bet the farm right now that at the end of the year, Michigan's best game will handle the tides best game. Bar none baby! I'm not always right but when I am, you son of a bitchin right I am! Michigan can go swing for swing with them. There is no bad ass threat on that offense to make plays on the Wolverine defense. The game would hinge on Michigan's offense.
