Hmmm... didn’t see MSU in that list
October 25th, 2020 at 4:47 PM ^
They're in the top 80, but you know biased the media is...
October 25th, 2020 at 4:19 PM ^
We may drop next week if we don't beat Sparty by triple digits.

Seriously, that program is a total mess - maybe worst in the conference. This might be the only game I really want to run up the score in. The rest of the games I just want to win and pull the key starters once the game is decided. Don't want any injuries before the OSU game. Everything is going to come down to that game - again.
October 25th, 2020 at 4:23 PM ^
Michigan about as expected and no problem with the ranking. PSU fell more than I thought due to the hype of the OH State match up next weekend. If Indiana wins next weekend then we'll see our guys play another ranked team on the road soon.
Not too surprised OH State jumped Notre Dame already. Buckeyes are locked into the 3rd ranking unless 'Bama or Clemson were to lose.

I wasn't too impressed with OSU in the first half as NU moved the ball on them. But they looked solid after halftime defensive adjustments. I guess it's too early yet to make conclusions but we sure looked good Saturday. We have to keep Milton healthy as he's - IMHO - the best QB we've had in the JH era and a shot at overtaking OSU this year. Yeah, I know, I say this every year but I really do feel we have a shot this year IF Milton progresses and stays healthy. Long ways to go though.

"BYU is nearly *ranked* as a top ten team"
Play in a conference instead of picking and choosing the tomato cans you want every week like ND
October 25th, 2020 at 5:04 PM ^
I think they play at Boise St soon. That should be a good one.
October 25th, 2020 at 4:56 PM ^
Not in the top ten. I like it. So tired of the hypocritical way Michigan’s “big games” are considered nationally, so I’m hoping this can at least mitigate that a little bit.
Keep winning and flying under the radar. The rest will take care of itself.

I wonder how far the Domers are going to fall when Clemson gets through with them? Mopping the floor with Pitt aside, they are the biggest frauds in the top ten not named Texas A&M.
October 25th, 2020 at 5:42 PM ^
Winless, not 0-0, PSU ranked above several undefeated teams? Hmm...
October 25th, 2020 at 6:53 PM ^
Frames and 3 of the AP voters are in the same swingers club.
October 25th, 2020 at 6:05 PM ^
I know it's because it's COVID year but the polls are so goofy right now
TAMU at #8 after getting blasted by Alabama?
BYU nearly in the top 10?
Cincinnati in the top 10?
It'll sort itself out, but it's all weird right now
October 26th, 2020 at 9:59 AM ^
Yeah, it's super weird -- tamu with a 5-pt victory over vanderbilt shouldn't be top 25 -- the computers have them like 30. But if you rank tamu outside the top-25 all of sudden florida can't be in the top 25 either. So the humans are very slow to adjust their expectations for SEC teams.

Ranked IU vs Michigan matchup for the first time in forever..?
