6. Michigan (20-10, 10-7)
Last Week: 7

You can say this about the Michigan Wolverines, they beat the teams they are supposed to and lose the games they are expected to lose.  This past week was no different.  Michigan was able to go on a second half run to take care of business against Northwestern at home, and then lost at Wisconsin on Sunday night.

I had a difficult time choosing between Iowa and Michigan for these two spots, but Michigan winning a game this week is the reason why they moved up one spot to sixth this week. Michigan will probably make the NCAA Tournament, but it will have a chance to secure its bid for the NCAA Tournament next Saturday vs. Iowa in its final regular season game.

Next: Number 5
