see Houston potentially leaping up to 5 with us at 6. Those are the only two possible scenarios to me.
September 6th, 2016 at 12:17 PM ^
Only 5th??? Liberal media hacks...
September 6th, 2016 at 12:21 PM ^
MSM lamestream media.
September 6th, 2016 at 12:22 PM ^
Where do Breitbart.com and DrudgeReport rank us?
September 6th, 2016 at 12:34 PM ^
currently has us at "Where is Obama's birth certificate!?!?" Ranked just behind "Hillary literally on her Death Bed!!"
I guess they were not that impressed with the win over Hawaii.
September 6th, 2016 at 12:51 PM ^
STAHP IT.
September 6th, 2016 at 12:34 PM ^
The Drudge Report is a news aggregate.
September 6th, 2016 at 12:37 PM ^
Yes, and Matt shows no selection bias in the stories that appear on his website whatsoever...
September 6th, 2016 at 3:06 PM ^
So in essence just your garden variety news source.

Hahahaha, that would be great if all UM fans lost their voting rights - just like convicted felons - until we beat OSU and/or MSU...
September 6th, 2016 at 12:25 PM ^
Thanks Obama
September 6th, 2016 at 12:17 PM ^
In fact, there a lot of off things about that poll.
September 6th, 2016 at 12:23 PM ^
The writer has ND ranked higher than Texas, and all the other SEC teams that lost are still top 15. Stupid poll.
September 6th, 2016 at 12:32 PM ^
Pretty sure this is based on Jerry Palm's algorithm, so not a poll or power ranking. Early yet, so expect to see some things which don't make much sense on the face. Not sure what his algorithm includes, but these generally include things like previous year rank, players returning, SoS (which is constantly changing), etc.

Obviously it was a fluke that Texas won.

September 6th, 2016 at 12:17 PM ^
Makes sense. Speaking of - when was the last time we were ranked in the top 5? Was is the start of 2007?
September 6th, 2016 at 12:20 PM ^
Shut your filthy mouth. There was no 2007 season for Michigan football. We took that year off...

September 6th, 2016 at 1:57 PM ^
number 1 when the team rolls in there... Taking them out of #1, the playoffs and ruining their season would be glorious
September 6th, 2016 at 12:19 PM ^
September 6th, 2016 at 12:20 PM ^
Four spots above the team they lost to...
September 6th, 2016 at 1:11 PM ^
And people are not concerned that they could get picked over us for the CFP if we both have 1 loss?
We need to be like 3 losses ahead of Notre Dame to be sure we are not going to be chumped by them.

Above Michigan. Two reasons:
1) Can do the disrespect stuff.
2) They beat the 3rd ranked team in the country, and somewhat easily in the 2nd half.
September 6th, 2016 at 12:21 PM ^
September 6th, 2016 at 12:24 PM ^
It's all about what the team is ranked when you beat them. Houston beat the #3 ranked team in the country, whether or not we agree with it.
Michigan, for how good they are potentially, beat one of the worst teams in college football. I would not be offended if Houston leaped Michigan.
September 6th, 2016 at 12:42 PM ^
Ok. But then you also need to have Houston fall in week 4 and 5 because they are playing Texas State and UConn which we all know won't happen if they take care of business.
September 6th, 2016 at 12:47 PM ^
If someone right underneath gets a big win on the road or over a top 10 team, fine with me. Especially if Houston struggles in either one of those games.
September 6th, 2016 at 1:23 PM ^
Fair enough. I just think too many people see the W and will stay with the same rankings. Not that it really matters since CFP committee has shown style points matter.
September 6th, 2016 at 2:26 PM ^
My guess is Michigan-14
September 6th, 2016 at 3:39 PM ^
not a chance. Oklahoma was only a 12 point favorite against them after going to the Playoff last year and with a Heisman front runner (at the time) at QB. I don't think Michigan would be favored by all that much if they were at all. It may depend on where the game is played. Maybe Michigan -4?

Houston keeps winning, and then what?
Plus this isn't the AP, so this is strictly a writer's poll from CBS.
September 6th, 2016 at 2:17 PM ^
we go to the playoffs. It's as simple as that.
September 6th, 2016 at 12:22 PM ^

I didn't even know CBS did a poll.
September 6th, 2016 at 12:24 PM ^
Rebels moved up to 10 after losing last night (were 11).
