MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Just a few weeks ago, the possibilities seemed endless for Michigan. The Wolverines came into their fifth season under Jim Harbaugh looking like a good bet to win the Big Ten. The odds are now looking about as long as one of Jonathan Taylor's dashes for Wisconsin after the Badgers ran over the Wolverines 35-14. No. 20 Michigan will try to regroup when it hosts Rutgers next week. Then comes what figures to be a tough matchup against Iowa at the Big House on Oct. 5.
UNDATED (AP) — Wisconsin moved into the top 10 for the first time this season, landing at No. 8 in The Associated Press college football poll after a weekend during which seven ranked teams lost. The top of the rankings remained mostly unchanged. Clemson is still No. 1, followed by Alabama, Georgia and LSU. Ohio State edged past Oklahoma to No. 5. California was the big mover, jumping eight spots to No. 15. Michigan plummeted to No. 20.
UNDATED (AP) — LSU has earned a reputation the last decade or so as a program that relies on defense and usually does just enough on offense.
