Will Michigan jump into the top 10 after their blowout win at Wisconsin? Honestly, I think the Wolverines will be close, but would be surprised if they were just outside after their 38-17 win. Cade McNamara proved that he can throw the ball more than 20 times, Jim Harbaugh proved he could win a road game as an underdog, and the Wolverines are one win away from a bowl game.

However, I think the AP voters will value a road win against Wisconsin over BYU’s win at Utah State. For that reason, I think the Wolverines sneak in at No. 10 with their blowout win over the Badgers.

Michigan will jump BYU, Oregon, Florida, Notre Dame, and Arkansas to make it up to No. 9 which seems unfathomable considering how little respect the Wolverines got in the preseason.

The defense might be the best in the Big Ten and a 5-0 start is shocking but shows that Michigan may have just turned a corner under Harbaugh.
