There isn't much change here because most teams haven't played since the beginning of December.

Michigan falls five spots in the RPI this week. Losing to Western Michigan hurt our RPI, but we took a big hit losing to Michigan State.

The Michigan-Michigan State game was non-conference so there's no change in the Big Ten standings.

 

Michigan enters a crucial stretch of the schedule. We are off for two weeks before going to Wisconsin, then the MSU series at JLA and East Lansing, before Wisconsin comes back to Yost for two more.
