Michigan football was ranked No. 15 across the board entering Week 14, but after losing to No. 1 Ohio State on Saturday, the Wolverines were doomed to fall in those rankings.

It doesn't really matter now except just for pride and postseason seeding at this point, as the maize and blue have missed the College Football Playoff. They're predicted to play in the Citrus Bowl, but analysts are split on the future opponent.

Coaches across college football dropped Michigan from No. 15 to 18, but what about the media who vote in the AP Top 25? Turns out, it's the same result, with the Wolverines dropping three spots to No. 15 in that poll. Ohio State remains No. 1, Oklahoma is No. 8, and USC is No. 17 -- just like in the US LBM Coaches Poll.

Here are the full rankings:
