Michigan slides mercifully down a few spots after a win that was a loss in every way but the one that counts (in the standings). It was a drag-out, mistake-filled fight between a obviously better team and Michigan (ba dum cha. Tip your waitress, folks).
Ohio State continues to sit at 4th, Northwestern is 18th, and Wisconsin is 24th. Michigan State is the first team out with 59 votes, easily surpassing Nebraska's 15 votes after the Huskers decided to give up 28 points in a quarter.

Proving once again that coaches don't actually watch the games, Michigan only fell two spots in the Coaches Poll. Meanwhile, Michigan State moves into the poll at 24th as Nebraska and Wisconsin fall from 15th and 18th to completely out of the poll.
Ohio State is still third and Northwestern is 16th.
