They clearly are good and might end up a #1, but this seems like an overreaction.
You beat two top unbeaten 10 teams, convincingly. I probably would have put them around 8-10, but who knows.

Biggest AP poll jump ever? Michigan to #4.

-edit- Close
The Wolverines were rewarded with nine first-place votes and matched Kansas (1989) for the biggest jump from being unranked in the history of the poll, which dates to 1949.
OSU 6, UNC 7. Duke 10, MSU 11

ACC-Big Ten tournament: #1 Louisville vs #4 Michigan; #10 Duke vs #11 MSU; #6 OSU vs #7 UNC; #5 UVA vs ... Purdue? #3 UMD vs Notre Dame.

Can we fix those last two games? UMD vs UVA - COME ON

OSU #6? So wild. I didn't see this coming. I have no confidence because I don't really know them yet.

By the way, it makes sense for TTUN to be ranked so high since they're a basketball school...

Hah! Although, I haven't thought of them as a basketball school since 1993, but I guess they've had a couple of decent years lately.

Peterson steps down at Washington.

That's pretty shocking. He must just be sick of the grind.

Hey Cake, not kicking a program when it's down, but you asked earlier about UM scandals, and I was just reminded of this one from earlier this year:

Guy testifies in federal court about paying players at multiple schools, including Michigan.

Shouldn't drop far though. Lost on the road against a higher ranked team.

Sloppy game. Officiating seems sloppy too. I don't think they're favoring either team, just being sloppy.

I really like the energy of both these teams. They play really hard.
