A 2-loss Michigan should be ranked ahead of either a 2-loss UW or a 2-loss PSU given UM beat both decidedly head-to-head which the committee said is the most important thing in the rankings.

Who the fuck cares? 

 

Unless a meteor takes out Indy, Michigan will not be relevant come CFP time. 

 

Maybe we get a Rose Bowl bid as consolation.

Man, I HATED that Bursley Baits bus.  Missed tons of classes due to a lack of desire to get on that thing.

I'm hoping for Rose too.  Don't quite understand why the people making bowl projections have Michigan in the Citrus instead of the Rose.  If the CFP is taking Penn State and Ohio State, why would they take a 3-loss Wisconsin over a 2-loss Michigan?  Its the Rose Bowl's choice.

Yes. If you don't win your conference you should be excluded from the playoff, barring unrealistic circumstances. Therefore, not even winning your division should make it so that you don't even try to bring an argument. If you aren't the best team in your division, you aren't the best in your conference. If you aren't he best team in your conference, how can you be a Top 4 team in the country? Makes no sense...

Yeah, PSU won it because they got the tie-breaker but no one outside of the dearest JoePa lover is going to tell you they're CFP material. I saw with my own two eyes today that Michigan and OSU are top 4 quality

Shit happens sometimes. OSU should get in the playoff before Wisconsin or PSU. Championship game or not

i said this in another post, but they are going to have to split OSU and Michigan in the divisions.  You basically are having the two best teams take each other the week before the championship and you will be left with maybe two second tier sqauds playing for it.

...how we make the playoffs under any circumstance now. We fall just outside playoff consideration to 5 or 6, possibly even 7. It is possible that if Penn State wins out, they'll be rated higher than we are as screwy as this year has been. 

Bottom line is that we let this game, bad officiating and all, get away from us.

Michigan has a good chance. All we need is Clemson or Washington to lose and that would force the committee to pick between UofM and a big ten champion they beat. If psu wins the big ten there is no way they pick them over UofM as UofM obliterated them head to head.

Make that a good chance of south beach. Remember: our tie in with the Orange Bowl means the highest ranked B1G team not in the rose bowl and CFP goes there unless outranked by an SEC team. That will be a B1G team considering how highly ranked they are this year.

I expect 3 B1G teams in NY6: Rose, Orange, and CFP

and the committee cannot walk away from head-to-head and conference champ criteria.

The CFP committee knows the OSU offense is extremely weak and the benefit of home field & ridiculously poor officiating wil not occur with a playoff vs Bama. JH is the one coach with the offensive IQ to challenge Saban's D, but everyone else will be destroyed.

Washington, Clemson, Bama and B1G winner make the CFP. Too bad for OSU.
