Moved up 3 to 15. They beat Ohio State they make the playoffs. Cheating going on imo. Also Alabama 9 Tennessee 18 yet Alabama record 9-2 we are 8-3. That’s 9 spots ahead of us. Cheating bias there for Alabama as well. I’m just saying a lot of talk behind doors going on how people vote. Like the stock market and a senator insider trading. We know it is going on but …

Doesnt matter where we are ranked. We arent getting into the playoffs. If we would've handled business against Georgia and Oklahoma we would’ve been in the top 5. But we didnt and thats what matters. Only thing left for us is to ruin vandys season

It doesn't matter in the polls.

Michigan is still playing for a Big Ten title with 1 loss. They are still playing for the playoff with 2 losses overall.

Michigan should be in the top 15 of playoff standings considering they are still alive for the playoff.

This isn't some grand conspiracy. Michigan is ranked where they are because they are playing for the Big Ten title and playoff spot. We aren't alive for a conference title or playoff spot.

Yeah, there's no issue with Michigan being where they are right now. I think they lose to Ohio State, so it will work itself out. Even if they were to beat OSU, I think Indiana and Oregon would be in the B1G Championship game, though, as long as neither lose this weekend. Michigan would get an at large, though, most likely.

As they should if they finish 10-2 with a final week win over the #1 team.

I hate Bama as much as anybody alive, but they are No. 9 because they have some really good wins, over 10-1 Georgia in Athens at the top of the list, but also 9-2 Vandy, 8-3 Tennessee and 7-4 Missouri. Their ranking is totally legit imo.

So people, how's that SOS working out. It will always be about wins and losses. It doesn't matter who those wins are against (ND). Play 10 cupcakes and get ready for the playoffs. Too bad the SEC screwed that up. I suspect that bama will get in if they win out. Nobody wants to listen to the crying if they don't get in.

We are not the team that should complain - complaints should come from other schools that Michigan would jump that also have 1 or 2 losses.

And yes, the poll is set up to try to get 4 B1G teams in the playoffs. They want to avoid the possibility of 5 SEC teams and most wish for only 3.

Michigan started a true freshman on the road at Oklahoma in their second game of the year…that’s not a bad loss. To me, the loss at USC was worse…but if they knock off OSU it would be interesting to see the tie breaker for the Big 10 CG…they could be 10-2 watching the game or 10-2 playing Indiana…either way they might be the 4th Big 10 team in…

What kills me is when they get to talking about nd good losses vs Miami bad losses. If we are ranking based on losses tn is top 5

I am convinced that the committee uses whatever logic (good wins, bad losses and good losses) to ensure the team they want to be in the playoff is in the playoffs.

They just need to extend the number of teams to match what happens in the FCS, remove the connection to the bowl games and be done with all this.

Don't worry. Michigan didn't play Oregon or Indiana. OhioS will trample that freshman QB and boat race Michigan.

And fans want to face Michigan in a bowl? Geez. It would be like playing bama in Tuscaloosa. The refs would set records for laundry on the field in support of Michigan. No thanks.

We are certainly a team that could be in the CFP, but we didn’t finish. If there were some miracle that allowed us to back door into the CFP as a # 11 seed, the 6 seed would be furious. We would be a team nobody would want to play. If we had to go to Lubbock I wouldn’t be surprised if we were favored or if it were a pick em . Hell I’d go to Norman and play OU again. I’d love another shot at them.
