Both Michigan and Michigan State pulled out impressive victories on Saturday, setting up an even bigger game between the two next weekend in East Lansing.
And while Michigan was rewarded with a boost up the polls, the Spartans weren't as fortunate.
In the latest USA TODAY Coaches' poll released Sunday, U-M (6-1, 4-0 Big Ten) shot up six spots to No. 7.
The jump up has as much to do with the Wolverines' 38-13 win over Wisconsin as it did with four top-10 teams – Georgia, West Virginia, Washington and Penn State – all losing.
