Men's Power Rankings: Michigan leaps to No. 1, plus 5 new faces

The Wolverines had perhaps the best Feast Week to take them over Arizona and Purdue in a roller-coaster No. 1 race.

With Michigan mathematically out of the race for the Natty of College Football…”we’re a basketball school anyway.”

I guess the word shit is not official verboten.

Go Blue!

Go Hoops!

Next game Saturday December 6, 2025 4 PM Eastern v Rutgers at Crisler.

I’ll let someone who’s better at it than me start the game thread.

Sagarin stopped doing basketball ratings a season or two ago, so Ken Pom is the most well known guy.

But Sagarin's metrics were based in part on margin of victory, so I assume we'd be #1 in his as well right now, after 3 straight 30+ point wins over ranked teams.

Win the Big Ten. That’s the next #1 distinction that matters to me.

Cool, we can just go ahead and declare ourselves #1 in Sagarin if ya wanna.

You’re not wrong. The Big Ten tournament is getting to be harder to win with every addition to the conference.

I foresee a future where all of in college athletics will be in the Big Ten and there won’t be any other college athletics at all.
