Where Michigan stands in AP Poll after Ohio State loss

The Michigan Wolverines fell to 9-3 on the season with a loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday and have fallen a few spots in this week’s AP Poll, coming in at No. 18 after the update on Sunday afternoon by the voters.

Michigan has been ranked for 120 of its last 141 games and 66 of the last 76 poll releases dating back to the start of the 2015 season. All time, Michigan has been ranked in the AP poll 941 times, the second most of any program in college football.

Five teams in the Big Ten, including the Wolverines, are ranked after the Week 14 schedule. Ohio State sits at No. 1, while Indiana remains at No. 2. The two will meet for the Big Ten Championship next weekend. Oregon sits at No. 4, while USC (17th) and Michigan (No. 18) are inside the top-20. Iowa, Illinois and Washington received votes this week.

Here is the full poll released on Sunday afternoon following the Week 14 slate of games. Each week’s AP Poll will be released on Sunday at 2 p.m. ET for the rest of the season. The true mark will be revealed on Tuesday night with the unveiling of the College Football Playoff committee’s fifth batch of rankings.
