2017 Week 5 Michigan Wolverines Rankings

Main Poll Voters

User Rank Reason
boonamobile 1 4-0 Michigan surges to #1 with a win over P5 Purdue (2-2). Michigan's opponents are 7-3 (70%) against teams other than Michigan, and those 10 games have been played against teams that are an equally impressive 22-9 (71%) -- i.e., Michigan has managed to stay unbeaten against what appear to be some pretty decent teams.

WhiteBaseCoat 1 PLRCOAT: 9.645. This is not the #1 team that I expected, but I don't think it's crazy to believe that Michigan has the best resume in the country right now - especially since my rankings don't consider MOV. Michigan is one of 6 teams in the country with 4 FBS wins, for one, and their wins are: 6.039 Florida (#12), 1.75 Cincinnati, 0-pointer Air Force, and 3.5 Purdue. It's that Florida win that's really paying dividends right now, as Florida tightropes their way through their conference schedule, and the Purdue win was an immediate boost as well.
atchemey 2 Boo blue...But they have the record. Purdue is good(!) this year.

blahblehblahwhoru 5 Boilmakers played Louisville close, which led me to believe they were probably top 30 at the time. Louisville has since dropped a bit and Michigan outplayed them but I don't think it's not a bad win to tack on. They move up more cuz other teams dropped.

fadingthought 10 Team Chaos flirted with us early before Michigan ran away with it. If Wisconsin has the easiest road, Michigan might have the hardest road though they will probably coast until Penn State
Ghost_of_Dude 10 Michigan smothered a Purdue team hunting for an upset handily. A pretty decent win if you ask me

Knightro2011 19 Someone on r/CFB: "Mooooooooom, he did it again."Yup, another team behind a team that they beat. Whole milk, steaks, slumber parties with kickers and their schedule are not helping Coach Harbaugh here. The Wolverines opponents' record is at 500 exactly and have not been efficient in the scoring department having less than 4 points per trip inside the opponents 40 in 3 of 4 games. They also have an abysmal 35.5% first down conversion rate.I look for their ranking though to be on the uptick as we go through more games.
