After a solid win over a good Buffalo team and a dismantling of Prairie View A&M on a neutral court this weekend, the Michigan Wolverines have climbed up the AP Poll, landing at No. 4.
The Wolverines started the season ranked sixth in the poll but jumped both Villanova and Texas who lost to top-five opponents UCLA and Gonzaga, respectively. While rankings this early are mostly meaningless, it should not be overlooked just how quickly Juwan Howard has made his mark on this program.
