Michigan football didn’t play a game this past week, but it managed to move up in the USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll. Would it do the same in the AP Top 25?
There was sure to be some movement, considering No. 2 Iowa lost to previously unranked Purdue. The Boilermakers’ upset win meant that it moved into the No. 25 slot, despite having two losses — to Notre Dame and Minnesota.
In the latest AP Top 25, Michigan football didn’t just move up one spot as it had in the coaches poll, it moved up two, leapfrogging No. 7 Penn State, despite the Nittany Lions also being on bye this week. Ohio State is No. 5 and Michigan State moved up to No. 9.
