In the latest Amway Coaches Poll, powered by USA TODAY Sports, something weird happened.

Boise State played in a game, which it won handily, but Michigan was idle. Yet, the Wolverines and Broncos traded places, as the maize and blue moved up to 17 from 18.

Otherwise, there was a little movement. The top three stayed the same. Oklahoma rose up to No. 4. Georgia dropped a spot. Oregon rose to No. 6 after beating Utah — who dropped to 10. Wisconsin, Penn State and Auburn all dropped a spot.

But Notre Dame and Iowa — two teams that Michigan beat, stayed ranked at 15 and 19, respectively.
