Michigan up to No. 14 in the Coaches Poll, No. 10 in AP

That’s an 11 spot jump in both polls.

I know College BB polls don’t mean all that much in the grand scheme of things, but how the hell are we ranked lower than UW & Iowa in the coaches poll? That’s a complete joke

They fill their ballots out at different times. Some most likely fill their ballots out at the beginning of the week, whenever they can find time.

Iowa is ahead of us in Kenpom and the game was at Crisler, and they’ve lost only on the road or at neutral sites to top 20 teams – no blemish like our Charlotte loss. Wiscy has wins against FLA and Iowa and is 3 in RPI with fewer overall losss. I would rank UM ahead but it’s not totallty crazy.

Anyway, I like this ranking for us. Good recognition, keeps the chip on the shoulder.

Iowa vs MSU and OSU vs Wisc

We’ll have a hands full against Purdue and @Indiana but win those and we’ll jump a team or two
