AP Rankings - Week 2
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.

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 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 believe.

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.

What if we don't blow out UMASS? Should we still be in the top 20? I think we will, but just throwing it out there.

We shouldn't be in it now. That game was piss poor, and we need to get the young guys experience.

From Week 1 to Week 2, the Pac-12 added two teams to the top 25, and the Big Ten lost 2. One Independent crept into the poll, and the Big 12 lost a team in it. Considerable movement, I would say. The distirbution across conferences is:
SEC - 6 teams
Pac-12 - 5 teams
Big 12 - 5 teams
ACC - 3 teams
BIg Ten - 3 teams
Big East - 1 team
Independents - 2 teams
The Coaches' Poll has an almost identical distribution, with the sole difference being 4 Big Ten teams as opposed to three in the AP, and the absence of BYU in the Coaches' Poll.

Just win the Legends, win the B1G, then win the Granddaddy.
Glory. Sweet, sweet glory.
