Bad news keeps getting worse.
With Big Ten Week 6 in the books for Michigan football, the Wolverines not only sit at 2-4, but the conference has seen multiple teams that struggled get wins on Saturday. Of course, previously winless Penn State won at The Big House, but a Northwestern team that soundly beat a Wisconsin squad that annihilated the maize and blue a few short weeks ago, lost to rival Michigan State. Ohio State was idle with a COVID-19 outbreak and Indiana kept rolling, although the Hoosiers struggled this time around.
So in the latest Amway Coaches Poll, powered by USA TODAY Sports, there was some movement across the conference. Of course, Michigan is nowhere to be found nowadays, but it still has a matchup forthcoming with the highly-ranked Buckeyes — assuming that game happens at all, given the COVID-19 issues in Columbus.
