11 Spartans
Mark Dantonio (5): You knew Dantonio would suffer in these rankings after a down season in East Lansing. Still, overlook Dantonio and the Spartans heading into 2017 at your own peril. Dantonio's teams have won at least 11 games in five of the last seven seasons.

5 Wolverines
Jim Harbaugh (10): I'm just going to be honest here. I think Harbaugh is a great coach. I would be thrilled if Harbaugh was coaching my favorite team. I still think he's ranked too high. While I feel like it's only a matter of time until it happens, he's yet to win a conference title on the FBS level. In fact, he hasn't even won a division title yet. He may end up being a top five coach sooner rather than later, but I just don't think he has the overall resume to be considered one now. My fellow voters disagree, obviously.

Here is when every FBS head coach was hired:
1999:
Kirk Ferentz (Iowa)

2000:
Gary Patterson (TCU)

2005:
Frank Solich (Ohio)
Mike Gundy (Oklahoma State)
Kyle Whittingham (Utah)

2006:
Rick Stockstill (Middle Tennessee State)
Pat Fitzgerald (Northwestern)

2007:
Troy Calhoun (Air Force)
Nick Saban (Alabama)
Mark Dantonio (Michigan State)
Ken Niumatalolo (Navy)
David Bailiff (Rice)
