As expected, Michigan football got a small boost in the college football polls released Sunday.
The Wolverines (7-1, 5-0 Big Ten), fresh off a 21-7 win over Michigan State, moved up one spot in the Associated Press Top 25 poll, from sixth to fifth.
U-M benefited as much from its win as it did from Ohio State's loss at Purdue on Saturday night. The Buckeyes fell from No. 2 to 11 in the AP poll.
