Michigan football continues its winning ways, the most recent victim being the Purdue Boilermakers.
The alleged illegal sign-stealing ordeal has captured the breadth of topics in the sport, and it appears the ire of the Big Ten is the biggest foe at the moment. However, the Wolverines are still atop the leader board in the eyes of the coaches.
The coaches across college football didn’t care to change their beliefs of the Wolverines: Michigan remained No. 2 behind Georgia. It received four first-place votes, while five first-place votes went to No. 3 Ohio State. Penn State, which is Michigan’s next opponent, remains at No. 9
