Michigan at 7th in both the Coaches Poll and the AP Poll
Georgia moves ahead of us to 6th. Penn State, Wisconsin, and Ohio State are 4th, 8th, and 9th, respectively.

Georgia had jumped us last week, so we slide up one with the USC loss. Penn State is still at 4th, while Wisconsin (9th) and Ohio State (10th) also move up one spot.

Did not expect a run at the CFB playoffs this year...we'll now a lot more after we play PSU...I don't see a chaos team on the schedule with the possible exception of Sparty...

But the offense is going to lose a game for UM if the OL doesn’t get its shit together.

Polls are pointless this early in the season

We have an elite defense that gives us a chance to win every week, but we're not an elite team. This year, that's good enough for second half of the top ten, I think. Only Clemson and Alabaama are complete teams.

Like MSU in 2013. Their offense was bad initially then was pretty good by the end of the year. I think we have the potential to do that, depending on how the OL progresses.

PSU has been the best team in the conference so far, but they just feel like a team waiting to be exposed for the frauds they are.
Not sure we'll be the ones doing to exposing, given that it's played there and at night coupled with our inexperienced roster, but I figure OSU will do the honors.

It's Happy Valley. They will expose themselves most likely.

Hello all. A few years back I created a college football ranking system. The system ranks teams by how a team does versus their strength of schedule week over week. This year, I am publicizing the poll for anyone who wishes to follow throughout the season.
Visit www.collegeplayoffbound.com to view the rankings. I hope to make that site more entertaining/informative over time as well.
The rankings to date will look very unorthodox to what we see at this time of year as it ranks teams based on what they have done against the schedule they have faced. Rankings are not based on subjectivity and preconceived opinions in any shape or form. As the season progresses and more games are played, the polls will look more and more like the top 25 we are used to seeing. In the 4 year history, BCS era and CFP era, the top 2 and/or top 4 teams have been correct every year, based solely on a computer algorithm. I recently uploaded the final (pre-bowl) rankings for the 2014, 2015, and 2016 seasons for reference to compare and contrast with the AP/Coaches/CFB Playoff committee rankings.
Anyway, this is a fun hobby of mine and thought some may find it interesting.
--------
Michigan is riding high at #2 due to a quality win versus a good Florida team.
Alabama is climbing, but still just at #4 this week. Their win versus Florida State is looking less impressive. Their best quality win right now is versus Vanderbilt.
