After the Alabama win over Clemson, the final AP college football poll of the top 25 teams was released.
No shocker, Alabama was in the number one spot. Followed by, wait for it... Clemson. So no surprise on number one and number two, but where did our Michigan hopefuls land?
Well Michigan State took the number six spot and the Wolverines are at number 12.
The Spartans were beaten handily in their playoff game causing them to be knocked out of the top four. And Michigan fairing much better in their game, caused them to land a little higher.
