Besides the obvious that they are receiving votes. They have 2 losses and at least one close win. I am not advocating PSU be ranked. My question is why is Michigan ranked and why so high?

I think that the hype of Harbaugh and being a "name brand" program are big factors. To be fair I think that their loss to Sparty with such unusual circumstances is being taken into consideration. Since day 1 of the season they have been overhyped due to Harbaugh. I acknowledge that he has a proven track record as a good coach but they way some in the media carried on he was the second coming.Besides the obvious that they are receiving votes.

Harbaugh is also playing with some very highly rated recruiting classes that Hoke brought in. So, you have a combo of good players and a good coach. I think it's reasonable to rank Michigan pretty high even with two losses. PSU, meanwhile, had limited scholarships for its current juniors and seniors.I think that the hype of Harbaugh and being a "name brand" program are big factors.

Their narrow escape last week shows how beatable they are. We will have our shot in a few weeks. I think we match up well with them.

I don't care why. I just want them to be as highly ranked as possible when we beat them.Besides the obvious that they are receiving votes. They have 2 losses and at least one close win. I am not advocating PSU be ranked. My question is why is Michigan ranked and why so high?
