For the second straight week, Michigan football went on the road and thoroughly embarrassed a Big Ten opponent.
The Wolverines traveled to Minneapolis to take on the Minnesota Golden Gophers, and seconds in, the maize and blue had a lead and just built from there to win, 52-10.
Yet, are any of the coaches in college football thinking that Michigan is the best team in the country? Nah.
In the latest US LBM Coaches Poll, Michigan football remained ranked at No. 2, but didn’t receive a single first-place vote. However, rival Ohio State, which remained at No. 3 after pulling away from Maryland late, managed to get two votes indicating the Buckeyes are the best team in the nation. Penn State, which Michigan will face first, is now No. 5.
