I know these rankings are stupid and often crap, but michigan at 8 is a bit of a head scratcher.
I agree with Scott Van Pelt on this all the way. scum is staring 3 losses in the face. Most likely a sure fire loss to Bama, then legit chances at losing to ND, MSU and OSU (not to mention NEB) none of which would be upsets, and they play AF who is always a possible PITA.
DR is dynamic but not consistent enough to overcome that schedule IMO, hard to see scum finishing in top 15.
