In the latest Amway Coaches Poll, powered by USA TODAY Sports, Michigan expectedly saw some movement.
Last week, Michigan came in at No. 12, having moved up after the 44-10 drubbing of rival Michigan State. Not only did the Wolverines follow that up with a 39-14 shellacking of Indiana in Bloomington, but multiple top ten teams either lost or struggled, allowing the maize and blue to rise in the eyes of the coaches.
No. 9 Penn State lost to No. 2 Ohio State and No. 6 Oregon was surprised by unranked Arizona State. While Oklahoma got all it could handle from BYU, as did Georgia from Texas A&M, both still won. As a result, Michigan moved up from No. 12 to No. 11.
Up next, the Wolverines face No. 2 Ohio State.
