Where Michigan ranks in national college football polls

Michigan took one on the chin last weekend in Norman, facing the Sooners. Michigan lost 24-13 to Oklahoma last weekend, and now the Wolverines are looking to bounce back against Central Michigan this weekend.

The Wolverines were ranked as a top-15 program by most polls, but following the loss to the Sooners, Michigan has lost quite a bit of traction. But with opponents such as Nebraska, Wisconsin, USC, and Washington coming up in the next four games -- Michigan has a chance to rise back up. The Wolverines just need to get their trench play to improve in the coming weeks -- on both sides of the football.

Here is where Michigan is ranked in national polls.
