twitter_paulbd	5	BCR Undefeated 6 Points While the Oklahoma win looks good, the whole Western Michigan of it all.

MahjongDaily	9	I expect to get raked over the coals in the comments for this one. Yes they looked awful against WMU. But they also have one of the best wins on any resume, against Oklahoma.
Hey_Its_Roomie	10	While I agree the WMU finish is contentious, the record book officially awards Michigan the win and I will be following it as such. 2-0, cumulative opponents' win percentage against other teams is 100%,
lowes18	11	Michigan won the only way they could have possibly won against Oklahoma, by running Underwood as much as possible and letting Mateer make the mistake. This is not an elite Michigan team, and frankly I think they are far away from a chance at a national title, but they did find a way to win against potentially the best defense in FBS and are clearly aware of what they have and don't have at the QB position.

smartkeg	14	Looked terrible in Week 1 and solid in Week 2 against an Oklahoma team I have ranked. Underwood looked better, defense looked great, and the team is probably much better than what they showed in Week 1 but since that's half of the season, I can't have them jump too high yet despite a good win.

Pyromania1983	15	I still kept Michigan in the poll last week, and well they ended up completing the funniest result, beating a good Oklahoma team. The team is scrappy. They won't get blown out very much and they'll keep things close, but the super close results could lead to unnecessary losses too.

elnino550	22	The Underwood-led passing game still looks like it will struggle but they showed improvements with their run game over the game against Western, and their defence especially pass rush showed flashes of being elite, they deserve to be one of the 1-1 teams in the top-25 for now.

quantum_jedi	5	(37.44) I have no idea if this team is good or not. It doesn't feel right that Michigan is rated this highly, but the win at Oklahoma was huge and gives Michigan a fantastic early season win! While technically they should be 1-1 (the correct call was made to add a second back), the Wolverines seem like a team that is going to drag their opponents, good or bad, into the muck.

tbraptors	19	Michigan is in after beating Oklahoma in a game of two teams with middling offenses and elite defenses. Oklahoma is probably #26 or #27.
ArlyntheAwesome	20	I'm using the loss to Western Mich to serve as reason to not follow H2H with OU, if they end up closer as the season goes on I will follow it again, but as of right now it's too tough to call for me.

_THE__BOULDER_	22	I know Venables's teams at Oklahoma are known for their defense, but Michigan's defense really handled Oklahoma's offense well in this game, keeping a clean sheet throughout the first half and coming up with two turnovers in a first half fumble and a second half interception, with that interception directly leading to Michigan's go ahead touchdown. While this is a nice bounce back for Michigan, I'm not convinced either team is that good as of right now, especially after last week's debacle for Michigan. I've dropped Oklahoma out of the rankings, and Michigan is just barely in ranked territory in the 20s. Michigan plays UTEP next, and plays Iowa to open conference play. Please see "Rationale" section for further details.
