Note: MLive's Aaron McMann is one of two writers in the state of Michigan with a vote in the weekly AP Top 25 college football poll.
Michigan continued its climb up the AP Top 25 rankings this week after a decisive win over Maryland.
It jumped two spots on my ballot, too.
While the Wolverines checked in at No. 12 in the composite rankings revealed on Sunday, my ballot had them 13 - one spot below Wisconsin, their opponent on Saturday (7:30 p.m., ABC).
The Badgers (4-1, 2-0 Big Ten) have conference wins over Nebraska and Iowa, along with blowout victories over Western Kentucky and New Mexico.
