The Michigan Wolverines opened up Big Ten play with a convincing 31-7 win over Rutgers. There were some tense times early, but the Wolverine defense stiffened up and they cruised to the victory.
The fourth straight win finally helped the Wolverines climb up the ESPN FPI. The Wolverines came into Week 4 at No. 14 in the rankings, but moved up two spot to No. 12, just behind a Notre Dame team that lost to Ohio State on Saturday.
The computers confine to love the Buckeyes, as the win kept them in the top spot and 2.
