Coaches Poll: Oregon alls all the way to 13, makes space for Michigan to move up to 11
Herm Edwards and Arizona St pull off the huge upset of Oregon. It was a legitimate win, not a fluke. Herm Edwards is making real change for the good.
Oregon takes a big fall all the way to #13 from their showing.
Penn St ranked one space lower than Michigan. But then, other than 2 turnovers which lead to quick score, they didn't have a very good showing yesterday.

Yeah, the inability to edit an original post claims yet another victim.
November 24th, 2019 at 1:35 PM ^
There's a couple things I would have changed. And I think I would have added some things about the Wisconsin vs Minnesota game. But I will probably make as post about the game later this week. There's a lot riding on it. Not really for Michigan though.
November 24th, 2019 at 1:29 PM ^
Michigan would beat teams 6-10.
November 24th, 2019 at 1:40 PM ^
Florida is the most offensive
November 24th, 2019 at 1:58 PM ^
Florida's resume consists of:
- Losing soundly to LSU
- Turtling against Georgia before attempting an ill-fated fourth quarter comeback
- Beating Auburn (whose resume begins and ends with its week 1 win against Oregon in the Jerry Dome)
Michigan's best win is clearly better than Florida's, and I would even call Iowa-Auburn a toss-up.
November 24th, 2019 at 1:43 PM ^
They've already beaten #11 twice
November 24th, 2019 at 6:48 PM ^
They would be ahead of those teams if they hadn't lost to PSU.
November 24th, 2019 at 1:30 PM ^
Hot take: We should be above Oregon, Baylor, but below Penn State and Wisconsin.
H2H does matter in my mind. I know Wisconsin lost to Illinois, but they’ve lost twice and we’ve lost twice.
November 24th, 2019 at 1:34 PM ^
Wisconsin I can see, but we were a dropped pass away from OT against PSU, on the road. I don't think that game is evidence of their superiority. That suggests that the two teams were comparable.
The edge to Michigan goes for the fact that both teams just played Indiana in the last two weeks, and PSU beat them by seven at home while we beat them by 25 on the road.
November 24th, 2019 at 1:38 PM ^
Meh. Both were road games. PSU a night game, UW like 6 weeks ago. some teams progress during the year and some regress.
Besides LSU, Bama, Clemson, and OSU, Michigan would be a favorite or pickem against any other top 10 team on a neutral field at this point in the season.
November 24th, 2019 at 1:51 PM ^
Michigan winning next week would add some fuel to that argument.
A New Year 6 Bowl Game would be really sweet after what this year has been.
November 24th, 2019 at 2:10 PM ^
UW was on September 21 - over two months ago now.
November 24th, 2019 at 2:19 PM ^
eh. depends on how you look at it.
if they play now on a neutral field, would you take PSU over UM?
November 24th, 2019 at 3:54 PM ^
Played this coming weekend, uofm would be favorites over both Wisconsin and penn state.
November 24th, 2019 at 1:30 PM ^
Who has Florida beaten?
November 24th, 2019 at 1:53 PM ^
You could say that about every sec team except LSU
November 24th, 2019 at 2:07 PM ^
But if you can say that about every SEC team, then you can say it about LSU because who have they beaten besides ranked SEC teams?
November 24th, 2019 at 1:30 PM ^
We will be closer to 17-18 after next weekend
November 24th, 2019 at 1:36 PM ^
Geez, thanks for that dose of optimism on a beautiful Sunday.
November 24th, 2019 at 2:18 PM ^
"We?" YOU sir, are NO Michigan fan.
November 25th, 2019 at 2:34 AM ^
I am a fan. But also a realist
November 24th, 2019 at 1:32 PM ^
I ❤ that we are ranked above PSU
November 24th, 2019 at 1:37 PM ^
Yeah, but the committee probably won't.
Beat Ohio St and things will look different.
November 24th, 2019 at 1:56 PM ^
So, if we beat OSU you think they drop out the top 4 even if they win the Big 10?
November 24th, 2019 at 2:13 PM ^
I don't think they will. They'd have to lose the BIG10 Championship after that. One loss BIG 10 Champ gets in, especially only losing to a team that would end up ranked in the top 10 in all the polls.
November 24th, 2019 at 1:54 PM ^
It happens from time to time in the Big Ten, but holy shit the number of times a PAC 12 or Big 12 game ends up with both teams pushing or eclipsing 500 yards is absurd.
November 24th, 2019 at 2:00 PM ^
Baylor was ranked behind M and blows a 28-3 lead at home and moves up. Well okay then
November 24th, 2019 at 2:11 PM ^
But they beat Texas, whose name apparently still carries cachet with the voters, even though UT has a worse record than Indiana.
November 24th, 2019 at 2:01 PM ^
Pac 12 is trash.
Hope we dismantle Washington next year.
November 24th, 2019 at 2:56 PM ^
"That's the great thing about sports....you PLAY. TO WIN. THE GAME."
November 24th, 2019 at 3:17 PM ^
....unless you are Rutgers, in which case your entire fall is shouting "NOT IN THE FACE!" every Saturday morning for three months.
November 25th, 2019 at 5:28 AM ^
Spoon!
November 24th, 2019 at 4:35 PM ^
Giving up 400 yards passing to a true freshman is a sure fire way to let everyone know you're a fraud. Oregon might've submarined Utah's playoff hopes too last night
