Michigan had one game last week, but the Wolverines made it count. Michigan beat the higher ranked Michigan State Spartans in Ann Arbor to complete the season sweep, take the lead in the polls, and most importantly position Michigan in the lead for a Big Ten title.
The resurgent Wisconsin Badgers are still the highest ranked Big Ten team, but they are also 4th in the conference race right now and needing a lot of help. Iowa, Ohio State, and Michigan State sit behind Michigan in the back end of the top-25.
