IN BRIEF

NEW YORK — The final fallout from a disastrous opening weekend for Michigan came Tuesday, when the Wolverines dropped all the way out of The Associated Press Top 25, an unprecedented fall from No. 5 to unranked.

Since 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, followed by LSU, West Virginia, Florida and Wisconsin.

Penn State moved up three spots to No. 14.

PITTSBURGH — Duquesne junior power forward Stuard Baldonado, one of five players shot on campus last year, was indefinitely suspended Tuesday, four days after he was arrested on a drug conspiracy charge.Baldonado, 22, was arrested Friday in Pittsburgh and charged with criminal conspiracy involving the manufacture, delivery or possession of a controlled substance, according to online records of the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas. A hearing in the case was scheduled for today.
