Michigan moves up to #17.
Other Notables:
MSU - #10
Ohio State - #12
Notre Dame - #20
Wisconsin (#13), Nebraska (#16), and Arkansas! (#8!) fall out of the top 25.
MSU and Michigan will probably the only B1G teams in the coaches poll when it comes out later today.

When we blowout out UMass we should move into the the top 15.

Why is that "sad"?

Why is that "sad"?
We have our issues, but so does basically every team in the country. We're just hypersensitive to our issues because we follow Michigan.
Polls
I meant that it is "sad" that the polls always seem to reward teams for blowout wins against inferior competition. I wasn't referring specifically to Michigan's situation.

Okay. We're the only team in
Okay. We're the only team in the country to return two 1,000-yard rushers, but obviously Toussaint's eight-carry performance yesterday tells us all we need to know. And defending against a triple-option team holds great predictive value for the rest of our schedule. Got it.
Talk to IU.
When we blowout out UMass we should move into the the top 15.
Tell it to the Indiana Hoosiers. They tried that (blowing out UMass 45-6 in their own building) and it didn't get them into the Top 25.
Our guaranteed, inevitable, easy win over UMass won't mean a thing.
Um.....we're
Um.....we're not......Indiana. In case you didn't notice, this is Michigan.

Is it me?
For some reason it seems that a trend is developing that a loss is means a massive drop in the rankings. More so than prior seasons. Might be wrong, just my initial impression.
Semper Fidelis!
Arkansas was the biggest drop
Arkansas was the biggest drop in history, from #8-unranked.
Unfortunately, *2nd biggest.

Yikes... wrong board to make

No way!!!
If I recall correctly, the first two games of the 07 season were cancelled due to circumstances beyond any mortal mans control.
On sweet sweet denial!!!

It's always been like that at
It's always been like that at this time of year. A loss generally means a drop of 10 or more spots, because the majority of the ranked teams are undefeated. Later in the season, the drops can become smaller.

Auburn
If they beat Auburn you may see more.
That's not the latest
That's not the latest coaches' poll. Arkansas being at #10 is clear indicator of that.
where we should be
almost all the teams in college football are close with a few notable exceptions (bama, USC, LSU, etc.). Us being 17th makes sense....I still think we will be the B1G champ as long as Denard throws well.....
Hell, is USC even that good?
Hell, is USC even that good? They blew out Hawaii, which is standard and didn't look to be anything special against Syracuse.
I hate to say it, but we could be headed for LSU vs. Alabama IV: The Rematch of the Rematch of the Rematch.

USA Today is doing their best
USA Today is doing their best to make it happen. so far two SEC teams have passed USC in two weeks even though they haven't lost. same thing happened last year when bama and lsu passed oklahoma while all three teams were undefeated.

USC
It's difficult for me to envision any Pac-12 opponent defeating either USC or Oregon (except each other).

Im thinking Oregón could beat
Im thinking Oregón could beat USC this year in a shootout. Im guessing Bama beats LSU and beats the winner of the PAC 12. Michigan faces the PAC 12 runner up.

The goal is to win the B1G Championship and beat ohio.
This Is MICHIGAN.

Take care of business and the Polls will take care of themselves. But the Polls keep us engaged and quench our thirst between Saturdays.

Don't count out the Huskers
Don't count out the Huskers just yet. They've got defensive issues to sort out, but their offense looks much improved, and I think Pelini will get the defense in gear as the year goes on. That roadtrip to Lincoln one week after MSU worries me.
All the contenders have flaws
The whole conference is up
The whole conference is up for grabs. Say hello to the Big East of the Midwest.

Well, the rest of college
Well, the rest of college football might as well just pack their bags and go home now. Notre Dame is 2-0 and on track to win another National Championship.
My blathering fool of a neighbor walked by me this morning with his little yapping rat dog said something to the effect of "2-0 feels good, see you in two weeks." I told him even Rich Rod could beat Notre Dame and I couldn't wait to see Notre Dame fans on the ledge in a few weeks time.

Content with all the
Content with all the rankings. Until we have 9 wins we should stay in the high teens.
Interesting note:
Michigan is the only team in the AP Top 25 with a loss.
(Boise sneaks into the USA Today at 25 with a 0-1 record)
Curious if anyone knows which
Curious if anyone knows which teams moved ahead of us? Four teams ahead of us lost, but we only moved up two spots and are the only team in the top 25 with a loss.
Kansas State and TCU I
Kansas State and TCU I believe.
For all those who worried
For all those who worried this team was lost after Alabama, I think we are seeing just how mediocre most of the conference and CFB really is after LSU/Bama/USC/Oregon. I mean, if MSU is #10 in the country and they barely scrapped by a mediocre Boise team, that says quite a bit.
Wow....the big 10 is just bad. How did this conference fall off so bad over the last couple years?
I think Sparty is the best team in the conference which doesn't say much because they clearly have their own problems they have to address.
ND might be a measuring stick for both instate programs this season. Will also be interesting to see how ND battles sparty without having to play us the week before.
