When it comes to college football and how it determines a national champion, the AP poll doesn’t matter that much. However, it’s still a great way to measure the top teams and if Michigan football can beat Wisconsin, it should easily make the top-10 next week.
Right now, Michigan football and its 5-1 record are No. 12 in the latest edition of the AP poll released Sunday afternoon. The Wolverines rank three spots ahead of No. 15 Wisconsin, which comes into the game with a 4-1 record. The Badgers beat Nebraska Saturday and their only loss came to BYU.
