“When it rains, it pours” — that’s exactly what’s going on with Michigan right now.
In the latest edition of the Associated Press Top 25 college football poll released Sunday, the Michigan Wolverines‘ No. 2 ranking went unchanged; however, the program lost two first-place votes despite their win over Penn State and staying undefeated.
In the Saturday contest taking on the Nittany Lions, the Wolverines came in as the No. 2 team in the country but, amid sign-stealing allegations, head coach Jim Harbaugh was suspended for three games by the Big Ten.
With no Harbaugh on the sidelines, Michigan won the game 24-15. (RELATED: LeBron Takes Jab At Michigan In Outright Cringe Fashion)
In the new AP Top 25 poll, the Wolverines still come in second place after No. 1 Georgia but, interestingly, Michigan lost two first-place votes, tallying seven rather than the nine they had the prior week. For the Bulldogs, they went up to 54 from 49 while Ohio State had a single first-place vote beside their name, down from three on the previous poll. The Florida State Seminoles also got a first-place vote nixed.
