The Michigan Wolverines moved up two spots to No. 10 in Week 6 of The Associated Press College Football Poll.
The small jump comes after the Wolverines 27-24 win over Minnesota for the Little Brown Jug. Running back Kalel Mullings rushed for 111 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday’s win.
The Wolverines are also ranked No. 10 in the U.S. LBM Coaches Poll.
Next, Michigan heads to Seattle for their first road game of the season, where they will take on the Washington Huskies on Saturday, October 5.
Alabama returned to No. 1 in the polls for the first time in two years on Sunday after a stunning victory over Georgia, making it the Crimson Tide’s 16th out of 17 seasons in first place.
UNLV, undefeated through four games for the first time in Division I history, moved up the rankings for the first time ever just days after losing its starting quarterback to an NIL dispute. The Rebels are tied for No. 25 with Texas A&M.
Alabama received 40 of 63 first-place votes and surpassed three teams to take No. 1 from Texas, which struggled with Mississippi State as a five-touchdown favorite deep into the second half and slipped to No. 2. The Longhorns received 19 first-place votes, a far cry from last week’s 44.
Ohio State remained No. 3 with four first-place votes. Tennessee, which had an open date, moved up one spot to fourth. Georgia, whose only three losses since 2021 have come to Alabama, fell to No. 5.
Mississippi and Utah saw the largest declines. The Rebels, who were upset at home by Kentucky, fell from No. 6 to No. 12. The Utes, who lost at home to Arizona, fell from No. 10 to No. 18.
Alabama, ranked No. 1 for the first time under coach Kalen DeBoer, has posted back-to-back impressive wins with Heisman Trophy frontrunner Jalen Milroe and freshman phenom receiver Ryan Williams leading the way.
The Tide won 42-10 on the road against Wisconsin two weeks ago and beat Georgia 41-34 on Saturday night after blowing a 28-point first-half lead.
The Tide has been ranked No. 1 for the 141st time, the most of any team since the AP rankings began in 1936, and for the 105th time since 2009 when Nick Saban won the first of his six national championships in ‘Bama.
