As MB notes above they’ve played one team with a vague pulse (ISU who stinks) and scored 16 points. Michigan putting up 17 on OU is more impressive than that. They have run it up on two horrible teams though.*

Michigan up 4 spots in SP+ to 21. 42 offense and 11 defense* - By Rich September 20, 2026 at 12:37:46 PM
- Interesting that SP+ would have Michigan-Iowa as a virtual pick ‘em but Vegas has Michigan -4.5.* - By LS&Play September 20, 2026 at 12:41:55 PM
  - Iowa offense is looking pretty good, rushing game especially. Absolutely ran through their two tomato can opponents. Much more than M can say. This is going to be a tough game. If we can’t stop the run, I think we’re in trouble. Probably true for any game, but still.* - By Ev September 20, 2026 at 12:54:46 PM
    - which is more relevant, how iowa did running the ball against tomato cans or against iowa state? - By DetUMICH September 20, 2026 at 01:32:47 PM
    - Iowa was mid as fuck vs Iowa State. This weekend means shit.* - By MasterBates September 20, 2026 at 01:03:19 PM
  - I guess Michigan has underachieved and Iowa overachieved but it might just be special teams. Iowa is 7th and Michigan is 108. It's early, small sample size* - By Rich September 20, 2026 at 12:47:20 PM
    - You can sum up the SP+ components, I don’t think there’s a 4 point delta between the two teams’ ST. (nm) - By suede September 20, 2026 at 12:55:04 PM
      - They are 38 in offense and we are 42. They are 9 in defense and we are 11. I refuse to believe their offense is really better.* - By Rich September 20, 2026 at 01:03:16 PM

    - Either way, I’m with you on Iowa. - By LS&Play September 20, 2026 at 12:51:41 PM
      - Yep - By Rich September 20, 2026 at 12:52:53 PM
        
        I have zero respect for PSU as a program but I expect a tough game. - By LS&Play September 20, 2026 at 12:58:18 PM
        
        They have never been great at defending the run. We ran all over them in 16, 18, 22, 23. And I doubt they are better with a bunch of B12 transfers* - By Rich September 20, 2026 at 01:04:49 PM
        
        i haven’t watched much of campbell in past, is he an upgrade on gameday? that’s about the only thing that could make me think a bit more about PSU this uear - By DetUMICH September 20, 2026 at 03:24:16 PM
