We got 3 votes in the AP, 13 votes in the Coaches'.

My favorite thing, from a personal amusement standpoing: Michigan and NU 
got the same number of votes in the AP, but NU got 13 to Michigan's 10 in 
the Coaches' (tying Iowa).  Second favorite - our only Big Ten loss is to 
the highest-ranked team in the Big Ten.

On the flip side, ASU has dropped to 27 in both the AP and the Coaches' 
poll.  At least they're still on the radar.

A convincing win against Tiller and his Broiler Chickens could be good for 
our polling hopes, especially if PSU beats the Wolverines.

A question for the list: if PSU beats the Wolverines, does that make them 
more or less difficult to beat come Homecoming?  I'm thinking from a 
"demoralized and depressed" versus "scrappy and fighting their hardest" 
standpoint.

Go 'Cats,

Jonathan
