. Also: LSU's wins over A&M and Miami don't look quite like they did 4-5 weeks ago. Miami and A&M are awful.
Auburn & Miami, Miami and Auburn.

Over the past 10 years, on average, a little less than two teams that start the season ranked in the AP top 10 finish the season unranked. There are currently four preseason top-10 teams out of the poll.

Washington and Wisconsin became the latest. The Huskies were No. 15 last week but lost to California 12-10. They started the season No. 6. The Badgers, No. 4 in the preseason poll, fell 31-17 at Northwestern.


Also on the outside of the rankings after starting the season with lofty expectations are Miami (preseason No. 8) and Auburn (preseason No. 9). The last time four preseason top-10 teams finished unranked was 2002, when Tennessee (preseason No. 5), Florida (No. 6), Washington (No. 9) and Nebraska (No. 10) flopped.

Auburn’s offense is terrible but they have a pretty good defense. 
A&M and Miami are just bad football teams imo.

All the way at 7th? Wow. Tough crowd.
The 500-0 beat down in Ann Arbor not fresh anymore? If Harbaugh was an ass and liked to keep in the first team defense late and run up the score and throw the ball late into the 4th that game probably would’ve been 90-0.

Vegas doesn't seem to be a big fan of ND:
-8 ND vs Northwestern
-9.5 UGA vs Kentucky
-10 Michigan vs Penn St
-14.5 Alabama vs LSU


Irish have the weakest opponent of the four.
Alabama has been favored in 115 of their last 116 games.  The one time they were an underdog, they had a blowout win.

Nebraska isn't a good team this season and was a bad team back in Sept.  90-0 wouldn't have been enough to rank Michigan at #4.
The win over the Badgers doesn't look as good today.  Narrow win vs Northwestern.  Is Michigan State real strong?
an impressive win vs PSU will move them up.
LSU's resume is more impressive
I think Georgia is very good.  
Probably a toss up for Oklahoma and Michigan.
I'd like to see the Sooner offense vs the Wolverine defense.

This Dawg edition has "issues".  Maybe like many Dawg fans I expect something close to perfection, but the defense is missing Roquan and is not stopping the run very well.  The offense can look great and then awful in minutes.  The OL is really dinged up and not playing like last year's at all.

Florida could have made that a very close game had the turnovers not killed them, and the almost did anyway until late.

Based purely on resume to this point, I think Georgia and Kentucky have had a tougher schedule.  Splitting hairs, and for now it's a snapshot.  If Michigan winds up with 1 loss, they'll have picked up some much better wins.  As of now, a win at #26 Michigan State is the only win Michigan has over a composite top 40 team.
