Michigan #3 in the AP Poll, still #4 in Coaches
http://collegefootball.ap.org/poll
In the Coaches poll we're still #4, only 19 points behind Clemson. Wisconsin stayed at #10 despite losing to OSU.

The coach's poll is dumb, and one reason is that coaches (or whoever actually casts the vote) give the benefit of the doubt to teams who have been very strong the previous season. Since Clemson is 20-1 going back to the beginning of last season—with the only blemish a close loss to Alabama in the NC game last January—and since they still have a Heisman front-runner at QB, coaches are going to figure that Clemson is still a tremendous team. Sure, it's stupid to us, but it's been that way forever, going back to the polls-n-bowls era.

Alabama has 60 of the 61 1st place votes. Scott Wolf has Michigan #1, as he has all year long.

As usual, the AP gets it right. Why don't they eliminate the grad assistants, er, coaches' poll already?

If I had to guess, it's because it is still sort of amusing for some to discuss the manner in which grad assistants - or maybe sports information directors or whoever is charged with this at some school - to rank Division I teams from purple to tomato. If those in charge of filling it out actually were watching games, I wonder......well, no, I don't really.

It's crazy that Clemson could be ahead of us in any poll. They got beat by NC State all game and they really should've lost in reg time. NC State is probably a pretty good team but the line was -19 in favor of Clemson. I was dumb enough to put money on Clemson thinking that they might actually be a CFP contender. They continue to prove me wrong on a weekly basis.

That's the only date that matters right now. Take care of business and the championship opportunity will be there.
GO BLUE!!

Michigan should be at #2. osu struggled mightily and needed a holding call out of nowhere to win. Very questionable calls and non calls in that one. osu blatant holding at point of attack not being called all game. Michigan should win out. No excuse not to as wolverines have the most talent top to bottom. Love the way michigan and wisconsin play football. osu better pray ferret does'nt get dinged.
