Michigan passes OSU in SP+ (for first time ever?), up to 2nd
Pretty sure even after last years win we were still behind them by this metric. No longer!
other teams of note are TCU at #6 and USC at #11.
If we end up playing TCU in the playoffs we should be about a touchdown favorite.

OK - but hasn't the last two years shown this is a lagging indicator?

What do you suggest as a lead measure? Like coach Harbaugh, I prefer wins.

Double post, a happy accident. Double wins, 22 years, etc

I rarely upvote double posts but this is worth it.

Think we were ahead all year in 2016, because we were better and JT was short. I know S&P loved that team.

100% S&P+ had us rated higher in 2016, not sure if it was the final ranking but i’m fairly certain it was the case going into The Game; also think we may have even been ranked higher at some point in time before The Game in 2015 though that one i’m not certain of. One thing that probably contributed was that the rosters were closer from a recruiting ranking perspective than they have been recently and S&P+ factors that in. That 2015 team also had a streak of shutouts and both years S&P+ had M rated as elite on defense.
