The Michigan Wolverines made their case for the top ranking in the AP Poll with a dominate 45-7 win over Nebraska on Saturday afternoon. The win didn’t move Michigan to the top spot, but it did earn 12 first-place votes this week, which is up from two in the previous polls. That kept the Wolverines in the No. 2 spot behind two-time defending champion Georgia.
The Bulldogs received 35 first-place votes to stay in the top spot. Texas came in at No. 3 and received 10 first-place votes and was just 10 points back of the Wolverines.
