I told you so. The entire system is a joke.
By the Associated Press...
"The final fallout from a disastrous opening weekend for Michigan came Tuesday, when the Wolverines dropped all the way out of The Associated Press Top 25, an unprecedented fall from No. 5 to unranked.
Since the AP poll expanded to 25 teams in 1989, no team has taken a bigger tumble in one week.
Michigan also fell from No. 5 to out of the USA Today coaches' Top 25.
However, twenty-two of the 60 head coaches that vote in the poll kept Michigan in the top 25. One voted the Wolverines as high as No. 10.But it was not enough to keep Michigan out of the "others receiving votes" category between Clemson and Miami."
