Powerless Five: Who leads the pack this week in P5 futility?

This weeks bottom P5—all of which are worse than the best to even middling G5 teams

5. Michigan

Teams in the Big Ten outside the Big 3 (Buckeyes, Spartans, Badgers) have struggled for the last number of years, and among the rest if you could make a case for any other team coming close, it would’ve been the Wolverines.

After a comfortable (but not overwhelming) defeat of C-USA’s Middle Tennessee to start the season, 40-21, this supposed Big Ten powerhouse struggled to defeat the Army Black Knights, a supposed Group of Five program. This past week, they didn’t just get beat by lower-ranked Wisconsin, they got stomped.
