Michigan #2 in standings/polls

Michigan defeated Northwestern 17-3 and as Coach Carr always says the polls will take care of themselves. With USC's loss yesterday (33-31 to Oregon State) Michigan jumped up to #2 in the USA Today Coaches' Poll. The Wolverines, of course, maintained their #2 spot in the BCS standings. Michigan also maintained its #2 ranking, behind Ohio State, in the AP Poll. What does all this mean? Well it means the hype meter will start cranking up even higher for the November 18th matchup between the Wolverines and the Buckeyes. There is a "countdown to kickoff clock" on the Michigan/OSU Rivalry Online Library Exhibit for those of you counting down the hours. Go Blue!
