Little Movement Save for a Huge Michigan Drop

by Dominick Evans

University of Michigan took a stunning drop in the AP polls this week going from number five to unranked in the top 25 list. The AP expanded their polls to list the top 25 teams in 1989. Since that time no team has tumbled farther than Michigan did this week. The cause of the tumble was a loss to Appalachian State, a team that cannot even be ranked in the AP poll.

Despite other losses on the board, it was the 34-32 loss of Michigan that got the attention of sports fans and caused them to take the hardest hit. Most of the other teams failed to even move on the poll. Another team to fall off the rankings was number 19, Florida State. Their drop was due to the loss at Clemson (24-18). With Florida State out, Clemson moved in. Georgia Tech also made it into the Top 25 thanks to their win against Notre Dame (33-3), which almost made U of M’s loss look like nothing in comparison.

Unfortunately, Michigan is the first ranked team from I-A to lose to an I-AA team. Michigan will host a game against Oregon at home this Saturday.
