NCAA FOOTBALL PGA TouR Michigan falls out of Top 25 Lefty vvill skip next VVolverines drop playoff tournan1ent farther in AP poll than any team- ever

Associated Press

NEW YORK- Thud! The linal fallout from a dis­ astrous opening weekend for Michigan camP. Tuesday, when the Wolverines dropped all the way out of The Associated Press Top 25, an unprecedent­ ed fall from No. 5 to unranked. Sinee the AP poll expanded to 25 teams in 1989, no team has taken a bigger tumble in one week. After an opening college football weekend filled with blowouts and highlighted by Appalachian State's stunning 34-32 upset of Michigan at the Big House, there was little notable movement in the Top 25 other than the Wolverines. Southern California was voted No. 1 by the media panel, but the Trojans lost some support. USC received 62 first-place votes in the presea­ son poll. A lackluster 38-10 victory over Idaho led to the Trojans dropping to 59 first­ AP place votes.
