Not too much to note here, as the Wolverines take a small tumble in the Coaches Poll after the first loss of Big Ten play.
In the AP Poll, Michigan didn't drop one bit despite that loss to Indiana on the road. n Strangely, Iowa fell two spots and Michigan State dropped to ninth.
Let's all take a second and be thankful that these polls are effectively meaningless and don't do much to weigh postseason placements.
