Do you think 10-2 PSU (with a decisive loss to Michigan) would have a better chance to make playoff than 9-3 Michigan? No way, right?

Same should go for ND. ND shouldn’t even make it at 11-1.

Back to the board

- I think if Michigan goes 9-3 with a 34-10 win over PSU and PSU finishes 10-2, Michigan gets into the playoffs - By brick August 23, 2026 at 10:58:10 PM
- Total wins matter more than strength of schedule. If SOS mattered, Texas which beat (at the time) #3 A&M and #6 Oklahoma and lost to #1 OSU & #5 Georgia should have been in.... - By jonpc August 23, 2026 at 09:00:30 PM
  - Alabama had the 6th toughest SOS; Texas had the 31st. Texas lost to shitass 4-8 Florida and got blown off the field by UGA - By brick August 23, 2026 at 10:54:23 PM
    - Texas would have kicked Alabama's ass at the end of the year. But, you're probably right. It's why playoffs need to be expanded. * - By jonpc August 24, 2026 at 08:42:54 AM
- The Committee almost certainly would pick UM if their losses were to other playoff teams* - By syrfan August 23, 2026 at 08:54:01 PM
- How bad are Michigan's three losses? If they're all decisive defeats, then who knows? Nfm - By Cutter August 23, 2026 at 08:45:21 PM
- Should? No. Would? Yes. (nm) - By suede August 23, 2026 at 08:40:35 PM
  - This is the correct take.* - By crumbs August 23, 2026 at 09:00:40 PM
  - Fucking bullshit, but you’re both probably right.* - By LS&Play August 23, 2026 at 08:45:05 PM
    - Narrative writes itself, a rejection of a head to head matchup in favor of a "greater body of work" type thing where a bad UM loss to OSU late overshadows our own "body of work" - By Daytripper August 23, 2026 at 08:52:35 PM
- way, imo. The committee would love to fuck UM* - By Daytripper August 23, 2026 at 08:30:47 PM
