At No. 21, Michigan is one of seven Big Ten teams in the top 25 of the first College Football Playoff rankings, released Tuesday night. The others are No. 1 Ohio State, No. 2 Indiana, No. 9 Oregon, No. 19 USC, No. 20 Iowa and No. 23 Washington.

ESPN analysts Kirk Herbstreit and Joey Galloway break down what could be on the line for Michigan in ‘The Game’ against Ohio State. The Wolverines still have a legitimate chance of making the CFP if they win out.

An incredible stat for Michigan senior EDGE Derrick Moore. He’s had multiple sacks in the last three games, the first Wolverine to accomplish that feat since 2006. He’s top 10 in the program record book with 19.5 career sacks.

Quote Of The Day

“Good, bad… my boys have grown up when my career’s gone much better than it did earlier in my career. But you pull them out of schools, you move towns. They have to find new friends. They have to find a new community everywhere. And our guys in our locker room have embraced them. I don’t think they’ve ever felt like they’re talking to the coach’s son, I think they’ve always felt like they’re talking to one of their teammates and we keep that line where I want, especially during the season.

“I want him to be that player on that team, versus being my son. And so it’s cool to see him have that much fun playing with these guys. [Our managers and walk-ons] show up every day and practice and just to serve in any way possible. And so to be rewarded with a Division I bucket, it’s pretty cool.”
