All I'll say is if a top 4 SEC team had lost, especially to another undefeated team, they wouldn't have dropped out of the top 10.
Fucking SEC bias

agree, either they thought Minnesota was a bad loss or they as usual fell in love with how Alabama looked during the season, that's a large drop, given PSU has two good wins. At least the AP had PSU as a 9.

Minny may not 'be' the 7th best team in the country, but they deserve to be there as a result of being 9-0 in a Power 5 conference and taking out a top 5 team.
There were plenty of people outside of Michigan that didn't believe Michigan should have been top 5 either the times that they were there.
At the end of the day, it doesn't matter. They still have to play OSU in the Championship game if they get there and that game will determine their ultimate ranking.
Beat OSU and win the B1G championship and they clearly deserve to be in the playoffs.

want to try something fun?
hold up a piece of paper (or your hand) covering the teams with 1+ losses, and then read aloud what conferences the teams are in order top to bottom. Then, do the same covering teams with 2+. Then the same with 3+.
Spoiler, basically every time it is SEC, SEC, anyone else, as far as each group with identical records. Don't worry though SEC bias isn't real.

Top ranked 3 loss team is Iowa. BIG TEN BABY!
