After beating Penn State on Saturday, Michigan football is back in the winning column and is back to receiving votes in the US LBM Coaches Poll. It may just be 10 votes, but now that multiple teams are two-loss teams, the entirety of the 2026 college football season has been turned on its head.
The latest US LBM Coaches Poll is out, and, of course, Michigan football is still unranked. Next week, it faces No. 6 Indiana, which moved down two spots after losing at home to the now No. 2 (previously fifth) Ohio State Buckeyes.
The Wolverines have a loss to No. 14 Iowa, and still have No. 10 UCLA and No. 25 Oregon on the schedule in the penultimate week of the season.
Here are the full rankings.
