A chance.

Stop. Just stop. Michigan doesn’t deserve to be in the playoff.
November 26th, 2018 at 6:48 PM ^
November 26th, 2018 at 6:51 PM ^
Even if Michigan is ranked #7 tomorrow AND everything went as you described, they'd probably take a 10-3 Texas over a 10-2 Michigan.
November 26th, 2018 at 6:54 PM ^
Texas would go in that scenario
November 26th, 2018 at 7:51 PM ^
That would be crazy. Three undefeateds and a 3-loss team. While a 2-loss team has never made it.
November 26th, 2018 at 6:58 PM ^
Best scenario:
Georgia beats Alabama convincingly.
Oklahoma beats Texas convincingly
Ohio State draws Alabama in a non-playoff bowl and gets blown out. (I'd be happy if NW blew them out too.)
Michigan kills [UCF/Washington/Florida/LSU].
Oklahoma wins the national championship because fuck Notre Dame and Clemson and Georgia can suck it. (Least of all evils.)
November 26th, 2018 at 7:10 PM ^
it's not good to be in the playoff when you can't win
sorry, shmitty, you're fired again
November 26th, 2018 at 7:17 PM ^
Did you get your hands on that Michigan Mary Jane?
November 26th, 2018 at 7:20 PM ^
Never
November 26th, 2018 at 7:21 PM ^
If I were a mod here, I would IP ban the idiot OP.
F off dumbass.
We didn't win our conference. We don't deserve to be in the CFB with 2 losses when one of those losses was a humiliating beatdown.
November 26th, 2018 at 7:22 PM ^
You were right...
November 26th, 2018 at 7:26 PM ^
Michigan did carry the Big Ten after the luckeyes lost to Purdue. If we don’t take care of business all year than there would have been no top ten Big Ten teams. You are welcome suckeyes
November 26th, 2018 at 7:33 PM ^
Jesus. This is as bad as Sparty fans trying to map Rose Bowl scenarios.
November 26th, 2018 at 7:41 PM ^
He is on to something actually.
OSU has the head to head vs Michigan, but would have two bad losses and Michigan has beaten northwestern.
michigan is the best 2 loss team.
long shot...more than likely it is 1. Bama 2. Clemson 3. Nd 4. OSU
I mean, fuck, MSU made it on a fluke ass season and got creamed 31-0 and I still hear “at least we made it”.
November 26th, 2018 at 7:53 PM ^
Replying to myself...I am still arguing with MSU fans since the osu disaster. The argument they have is “we can win a big ten championship and beat osu”. I just reply to them that I am waiting for MSU to get 100 yards against Michigan. 70-36-5. 42 big ten titles to 9. I also mention osu beat MSU last year 48-3 and MSU has a losing record against 7 big ten teams. THEY STILL DONT GET IT!
November 26th, 2018 at 9:00 PM ^
This would be the "Denial" phase.
November 26th, 2018 at 7:58 PM ^
I’d prefer a decent bowl to taking another hamblasting from Alabama or whoever it would be in your scenario in the playoffs.
November 26th, 2018 at 8:06 PM ^
November 26th, 2018 at 8:08 PM ^
In that scenario we still don't go.
November 26th, 2018 at 8:11 PM ^
OK, I don't hate you, but teasing me with a weekend of what would amount to some of the weirdest football I had ever watched is kind of cruel in some way....
November 26th, 2018 at 9:56 PM ^
Georgia would get in, and the suckeyes would still be ahead of us.
There. You have your weekend back.
November 26th, 2018 at 8:17 PM ^
Um, no. Just no.
November 26th, 2018 at 8:24 PM ^
Also airplanes carrying the entire Clemson and Notre Dame teams may collide in mid-air with no survivors.
November 26th, 2018 at 8:33 PM ^
Your post is in poor taste. You shouldn't wish that something like that would happen to Clemson.
November 26th, 2018 at 8:37 PM ^
If all that happened, either Ohio St or whoever won the Pac 12 would still get in over us.
November 26th, 2018 at 8:57 PM ^
The CFP committee would just leave the fucking slot empty before they put us in there.
November 26th, 2018 at 9:16 PM ^
I would take a final 4 spot if the committee granted it to us. But, sadly, it's not going to happen.
November 26th, 2018 at 9:18 PM ^
You would actually want to watch this team in the playoff?? Are you mad? Based on Saturday’s meltdown, we’d definitely lose in the first round and would probably end up with negative points. Sorry but that’s not something I would care to witness. Give me a middling tier bowl game so we can potentially feel better about ourselves going into the offseason.
November 26th, 2018 at 9:51 PM ^
We’d lose in the first round? I’m afraid we’d lose in the first quarter.
November 27th, 2018 at 12:18 AM ^
Touche
November 26th, 2018 at 9:46 PM ^
I am an optimist, but this seems a little over the top for even me.
November 26th, 2018 at 9:49 PM ^
Georgia would have to take a worse beating than we just did. Under your scenario, if the Dawgs played the Tide close there'd probably be a rematch in the semis.
But if Bama won 63-7 and the rest played out, I would love it. No way the Bucks lose to NW, though. If anything, Urbs will run it up to impress the committee.
November 26th, 2018 at 9:56 PM ^
Nothing would make me happier than for Northwestern to beat OSU. And I’d say that even if my other (non-Mich) degree wasn’t from Northwestern, Go U Northwestern!
November 26th, 2018 at 9:57 PM ^
Hawt & Juicy!
November 26th, 2018 at 10:01 PM ^
This is at least better than the surrender monkey posts about how unbeatable Urbz/OSU are (they're not, "we" just haven't done it yet), or how tempered our expectations should be now, or #fireharbaugh or the other handwringing, overly entitled tripe.
November 26th, 2018 at 11:09 PM ^
lol this is sad
OSU would get in over us obviously so the rest is irrelevant
November 27th, 2018 at 12:03 AM ^
Saturday was 2 days ago. Time to stop drinking.
November 27th, 2018 at 12:48 AM ^
Since I have grad degrees from OU, I hope they make the 4th playoff spot. FUCK OSU!!!!!!
November 27th, 2018 at 4:38 AM ^
First, Northwestern would have to win 105-0.
Second, Oklahoma would have to lose 70-0
Third, Bama would have to beat Georgia by 40
Last, Central Florida would need to lose.
If this all came giftwrapped by unicorns, Alabama would beat Michigan 84-3. We've had more than enough embarrassment for this year.
November 27th, 2018 at 9:33 AM ^
No, no a thousand times no. We are not elite and are not one of the best four teams in the country, and can not hang with Bama or Clemson. You should feel bad about this.
November 27th, 2018 at 9:33 AM ^
"I'm glad OSU didn't lose before The Game because I don't want to back into a conference championship"
"We can totally back into the playoffs you guys!"
November 27th, 2018 at 10:42 AM ^
The best Bowl for Michigan would obviously be Rose. The only way that happens is if OSU makes the playoff. They won't make the playoff if they don't beat Northwestern. I'm probably not going to watch the game but I will keep tabs on the score.
