The No. 5 Wolverines take over the top spot for the first time this season after winning at in-state rival Michigan State and watching rival Ohio State get blown out. Jim Harbaugh’s team has won seven straight after losing its season-opener to Notre Dame. UM has a bye week before hosting Penn State.
Another year, another mid-season blowout loss for the No. 11 Buckeyes, who fell all the way from No. 2 in the Associated Press poll. OSU couldn’t run the ball against the Boilermakers — Dwayne Haskins threw the ball 73 times — and got carved for 539 yards.
