The Michigan football team didn't garner a single vote in the Associated Press Top 25 preseason poll. After a 30-10 thumping of UConn and Denard Robinson's breakout performance, that's significantly changed.
The Wolverines earned 71 votes in the weekly poll released Tuesday afternoon, good enough to put them No. 26, just behind Jim Harbaugh's Stanford team, which had 96 votes.
It's the highest the Wolverines have been ranked since they raced to a 4-0 record last season and climbed to No. 23.
Notre Dame, Michigan's opponent this Saturday, is also in the "others receiving votes" category, with 38 votes.
Here's the complete AP Top 25 poll released today.
