The CFP committee should give a giant Fuck You to the officials yesterday by keeping us right where we were. Or even better, put us at #2. I think it's pretty clear we're a top four team right now. Even with a damaged QB.

This years big ten championship might be the biggest joke of all time. Might as well call it the big ten 3rd place game. Wisconsin and penn st are a tier bellow osu and us. How any team that loses a game 49-10 can even be in consideration for a playoff should be proof that the system is completely flawed.

I say that because of Ohio's home cookin' yesterday. Actually,  home cookin' would be an under-statement, they were served up a second Thanksgiving Dinner Sat. It's ok B1G I know you feel it's too soon for UM to be winning every other B1G title they participate in. But next year they win the B1G and the N.C. square dance. You just can't stop a speeding train without your foot on the brakes. I pity the opponent in the bowl game.

Logically, I could understand if we fell 3 or 4 places after losing at Iowa.  Instead, we remained at #3.

Logic suggests that given we outplayed Ohio on the road and got jobbed by the officials...we would still remain #3.  Logic won't be in play here unfortunately.

some think its absurd but, would allow teams not usually considered who have done well in any given year a shot.

WMU for example this year. Boise State and Hawaii in recent years.

Lose a couple of the blowoff games at the beginning of the schedule and use 2 weeks in December and its more than possible.

Week 1: 16 becomes 8

Week 2: 8 becomes 4

Week 3: 4 becomes 2

Title game whenever the hell they can make the most money.......bastards!
