im sorry but this is a freaking joke
for the second time michigan has had the biggest drop in the polls despite winning their game that week.

i think the polls system sucks, but the standard has always been if you win...you win. it doesnt matter how bad that win was. we have beaten 4 teams (one of them ranked) and all we have to show for it is being dropped BELOW our preseason ranking

im sorry but is this for real?

To be fair, there is more flucation in that early in the year. If Michigan is unbeaten in November it won't matter how any of the wins were.

Dude, they barely beat two crappy teams...the worse of which at home, and it took a prayer and a miracle for 'em to get the W in the last 5 seconds. They trailed UConn into the 4th and took an interception to pull that one off. Michigan is terrible and has looked terrible beating terrible teams. Yes, I think this is utterly fair.

John...UMich sux. I'm sorry you got lucky and squeaked by two horrible teams. With all that Rivals/Scout inflated 4/5 star talent Michigan gets they should be beating Akron by 35 pts and UConn by 21 pts.

Michigan doesn't deserve to be ranked period. They nearly lost twice to two teams without an FBS win. They are running purely on reputation by the pollsters.

The reality is that to this point, it is a joke that Michigan is ranked. With their on the field performance so far, if they were not one of the traditional powers, they might be "also receiving votes."

As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see if my father's alma mater can get it together and realize their potential

Michigan is overrated as anybody and it clearly shows in their games. The name on their jersey is the only thing propping them up right now....they don't deserve to be ranked.

Michigan has looked very average the last two weeks, and their best victory is over an average ND team. GT is better than Michigan.

Buckeyes have lost points in both polls every week.

It's just how it works.

RE: im sorry but this is a freaking joke
NIU lost votes the last couple weeks after wins. Not very convincing wins over mediocre teams, just like with Michigan.

Not surprised at all we dropped in votes, we should be blowing out these teams if we're Top 25. The latest joke is that we only need one more win to stop getting any votes for the Top 25.

Its unfair alright ... to all of those schools ranked one lower than they should have been. After TSUN came close to losing to a MAC cellar dweller, they should have been dropped from the rankings altogether and left to work their way up if the rest of their season showed a stronger performance than they showed against Akron.

Yea I figure a 3 point win over them will be enough to get rid of those pesky remaining votes.

Think of the bright side John, if Michigan continues to slide down some of the other 4 teams you root for will move up.

As for the Wolverines, I think everybody has clearly stated what needs to be said about their performance this year.
