Michigan got a first place vote! 62 more up for grabs :)

The Week #12 AP Poll is here, and Michigan put a small dent in OSU's armor, with 1 out of a possible 63 first place votes. OSU picked up the other 62 first place votes. This is the first week that the voters have unanimously declared Ohio State Michigan as number #1 and #2, as Michigan had 1 first place vote and 62 second place votes.

Florida is the new #3, Rutgers jumps up to #8, Wisconsin moves into the top ten for the first time this season:

1. Ohio State (62) 11-0 1,574
2. Michigan (1) 11-0 1,513
3. Florida 9-1 1,381
4. USC 8-1 1,373
5. Notre Dame 9-1 1,273
6. Arkansas 9-1 1,248
7. West Virginia 8-1 1,113
8. Rutgers 9-0 1,082
9. LSU 8-2 1,054
10. Wisconsin 10-1 928

Middle Tennessee State and Central Michigan both received some recognition for perfect conference records with 1 vote each. I was actually pretty impressed by CMU when they visited Ann Arbor early this season, and I'm glad to see that they're receiving some national recognition.

My only gripe is that a 1 loss West Virginia is a spot ahead of an undefeated Rutgers. Preseason bias' really take a long time to let go of.
