Why is Michigan number 2 in the AP poll?
Why is Michigan number 2 in the AP poll when they have only played one ranked team their whole season so far? How does the AP come up with these rankings. Notre dame was # 2 but why wouldnt Michigan move down in rankings as Notre dame is now a #11 team? Any big college can beat Ball state, Central Michigan, yet their still number 2 for beating unranked, rather small (football wise) colleges?
I am not a MIchgan fan, in fact, I hate Michigan.. However.. Number two does seem justified..
Game one.. they beat Vanderbilt 27-7.. an SEC team, regardless.. and the SEC conference is a strong conference..
Game two.. They walloped Central Michigan, a Patsy.. every team plays a patsy,
Game three.. they went into then number two Notre Dame, certainly not a small college football wise and destroyed the Fighting Irish 47-21, leading 34-14 at the half before the second and third stringers finished the second half.. That’s not a push over.. and Michigan is Notre Dame’s ONLY loss..
Next, they beat Wisconson, now ranked 17th, 27-13.. The Michigan game is Wisconson’s ONLY loss..
Game five.. Into Minnesota, where Michigan topped them 28-14.. another road victory..
Game six.. Michigan State.. records rarely mean anything with these two, but this year, the home team won, my Alma Mater was blasted by Michigan, it wasn;t even close.. 31-13..
Game seven.. into Happy Valley and beat Penn State 17-10.. Penn State isn;t a small school either, and are 5-3.. and yet, another road victory..
and Iowa (5-3) isn’t a push over either.. the 20-6 final not indicative of how close the game was..
I despise Michigan, but I also believe the deserve to be top three..
