Michigan out of the polls

Should we have expected this? Probably, a lot of teams are 1-0 and Michigan aint one of them.

How is blue nation taking it? mgoblog has turned to reminiscing about all of Michigan's other losses (including my favorite, to Wisconsin) and kittens.

The Ann Arbor News' John Heuser leaves them off his ballot

The Sporting News' Mike DeCourcy says they shouldn't have gotten anyone's vote.

Anyone else think Auburn is overrated? Kansas State had them on the ropes at their house before the wheels fell off and the Tigers scored two late touchdowns.

MajorWager.com however thinks K-State is the team that comes out of the game overrated:
Few gave Kansas State a chance in this game, installing them as 2-touchdown underdogs. Yet they shocked bettors by leading for much of the game before giving up 17 unanswered points in the second half to cruise to a loss. However, the win was due mostly to some serious problems in the Auburn offense, and Kansas State will likely end up overrated in the public eye and a possible go-against team in the coming weeks. While Auburn certainly has problems in on offense, particularly the line, opening as only a touchdown favorite over South Florida seems low. South Florida wasn't particularly impressive against cupcake Elon in their opener, so it looks like Auburn's offensive struggles may be weighted too heavily in this week's lines.


Nonetheless, they're a 7 point favorite at Jim Feist. Give me the Bulls and their strong defense this Saturday. I would go for the homerun with a +235 money line.

I posted the full polls under the comments section of my Top 25 poll.
