In the latest Amway Coaches Poll, powered by USA TODAY Sports, Michigan got what it deserves.
Get blown out at home against an obvious playoff team? Your arch-rival? Yeah, you’re gonna fall and fall hard.
Michigan was No. 11 going up against No. 2 Ohio State, and while it exposed some flaws of the best-rated defense, it couldn’t stop the No. 1 scoring offense in the country.
Thus the Wolverines fell seven spots to No. 18.
