It was on the verge of being an impressive win on Saturday, but things fell apart late for Michigan football.
The Wolverines had a 16-point lead in a game that didn’t even feel that close, but they let the Spartans hang around, and ultimately MSU pulled off the home win. So, what do the coaches around college football think about the maize and blue in the aftermath?
Previously, Michigan was No. 6, but lost to the No. 7 team in the last USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll. After the road loss, the Wolverines fell to No. 10 while MSU rose to No. 6.
Future opponents still loom. Ohio State is ranked No. 5 while Penn State ranked 23rd.
