Michigan remains at the top of SP+ rankings after win over Purdue

It wasn’t Michigan’s best performance, but the Wolverines were still able to win convincingly on Saturday night, defeating Purdue by a final score of 41-13.

At the conclusion of the college football action for Week 10, Michigan remains affixed in the No. 1 spot on ESPN and Bill Connelly’s SP+ rankings.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the SP+ statistic, Connelly describes it as a, “tempo- and opponent-adjusted measure of college football efficiency.” SP+ takes into account a team’s efficiencies on offense, defense, and special teams, to come up with one metric that can be used as an alternative form of ranking teams.
