The bye week can be an odd thing when it comes to the polls as sometimes impressive performances by other teams will bump an inactive squad down the list, while loses from those ahead can also move up those that didn't play. Stuck sitting on the improbable finish and loss to Michigan State, the Wolverines were neither rewarded nor punished for their time away from the field.
Michigan remains at No. 15 in the Associated Press Poll, holding down the No. 17 spot in the Amway/USA Today Coaches Poll.
In the AP, Michigan was jumped by Oklahoma, but moved ahead of Florida State, which dropped several spots after falling to Georgia Tech.
