The Michigan football team did what it was expected to this weekend.
And so did the three other teams in front of them.
As a result, the Wolverines remain No. 4 in this week's Associated Press Top 25 and Amway Coaches polls, released on Sunday.
Michigan (9-1, 7-0 Big Ten) won its ninth straight game on Saturday, beating Rutgers 42-7 in Piscataway, N.J.

The victory moves the Wolverines another week closer to qualifying for the Big Ten championship game, which they can do with a win over Indiana on Saturday and Ohio State loss at Maryland, or two wins to close the regular season.
