Where Michigan football ranks in Week 6 USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll
Michigan football had a challenging time in the first half of its second road trip of the season when it went to Bloomington to face an upstart Indiana squad.
Whether the Hoosiers caught the Wolverines off guard or Mike Hart’s collapse and seizure on the sideline stymied the maize and blue, the opening forays weren’t exactly what many expected. But then the team rallied, absolutely dominating the second half to win 31-10.
But how would the coaches across college football see the win?
In the latest USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll, Michigan stayed the same, coming in at No. 4 overall. There was no change in the top 10, and the Wolverines face No. 10 Penn State on Saturday.
