Michigan drops two spots in the rankings this week.  Michigan had three games last week.  It got a thrilling win Monday against Maryland.  Then it turned around and got dominated on the road at Nebraska.  The Wolverines followed that ugly performance with a win on Sunday over Rutgers 62-47.

After three games last week, Michigan will only have one game this week.  Unfortunately for them, it is a game at Purdue on Thursday.  Michigan fell 70-69 in overtime in the first meeting between the two teams.  However, this time around it is in Mackey Arena, making things a whole lot tougher for the Wolverines.
