Michigan didn’t do anything in Week Eleven, on account of it being its second bye week, and the College Football Playoff committee took notice.
Not exactly, but the Wolverines did fall despite being idle.
Coming in ranked No. 14 in the inaugural poll of 2019, the maize and blue dropped a spot to No. 15, though a game was not played. But they weren’t alone in the shuffle, despite either forward momentum or no momentum.
For instance, the formerly ranked No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes — who loom at the regular season’s end — fell to No. 2, despite an absolute drubbing of Maryland. This is in large part due to Minnesota jumping up from No. 17 to No. 8, after taking down the former No. 4 Penn State, which fell to No. 9 after the loss.
Wisconsin is now ranked No. 14, and Notre Dame, which Michigan beat a few weeks back, comes in at No. 16.
Michigan also has a victory over No. 20 Iowa.
Indiana, which was ranked 24/25 in the AP/Amway Coaches Poll, and is the Wolverines opponent after this week, did not get ranked in the latest College Football Playoff standings.
Here’s the full #CFBPlayoff Top 25 rankings for games played through November 9.
