There is little chance a 10-2 UM with a top 10 SOS misses the playoff

That doesn't mean the committee can't ding us in some other way.

I could easily see them knocking UM out of homefield for the first round.

If UM goes 10-2, it would have a similar resume to OU who last year went 10-2 and was the 8 seed.

Wouldn't shock me if we fell to a 9 or 10 seed.

Back to the board

- Honestly this is the reality. It doesn’t matter. It should count like we almost lost to a MAC team. If that’s a negative thing in the aggregate then it’s a negative thing. Anything beyond that is idiotic.* - By WOK September 17, 2026 at 05:15:02 PM

- I’ve been saying this from jump. If Western is in a position to be considered for the playoff, their game against Michigan will be a huge plus factor for them regardless of the fact they narrowly lost - By WestSideBlue September 17, 2026 at 05:08:20 PM
  - If Western Michigan loses a single game, it should be out of the playoff even if you credit them for Michigan - By y2wolv September 17, 2026 at 05:09:57 PM
    - No, they are competing against the other Group of Six teams for a spot. - By GritsGoBlue September 17, 2026 at 06:01:20 PM

    - 9-3 would have gotten us in before this. now it won’t* - By mtb September 17, 2026 at 05:32:07 PM
      - 20% chance. Not a sure thing at all. Most people admitted that before the year began. 9-3 would be possible but unlikely * - By ameriKa September 17, 2026 at 06:00:29 PM
      - I don't buy that. No team has gotten in at 9-3 yet. There's always room for someone to be first, and our schedule is difficult, but I'll believe a team gets in at 9-3 based on SOS when I see it. 10-2 felt like the CFP floor before and still does* - By Frigz September 17, 2026 at 05:33:50 PM
