Jim and Michigan have to be close to the top 10 with the way they've been rolling lately.
Pretty reasonable.
Everything still in front of them if they can fix the issues vs Indiana and play their best possible game at Columbus. Do that, and you are right back in the top 4 convo.

That should be Michigan's goal every year - close to the top 10.
Beat OSU and we're elite. It was always that way.
Being only two spots ahead of Florida is not good in terms of a NY6 bowl. Assuming we lose to OSU, we we are very likely to drop below Florida. That would give SEC 4 teams for the NY6:
- LSU & Georgia/Bama in the playoff bowls
- Georgia/Bama in the Sugar
- Florida in the Orange (as the highest ranked SEC/Big10 team)
Stunned they aren’t in the top 5. Hate to break the news to you but Michigan has zero chance to make the playoffs.
So Georgia's home loss to South Carolina is significantly better than our road loss to Minnesota, mmmk.
Amazing what a #17 team did to the #4 BCS ranked team. Either Penn St was waaaay overrated or Minny was waaaay underrated. You decide.
I’ll go with we were overrated. My point was that winning a close game still gave them a huge boost. In the old days, good chance we would have moved down to 8 or 9 and they get to around 11 or so. It is what it is.
So what does that say about top 10 teams that lose to unranked teams (like GA)?
Georgia should not be #4. That affects everything else. They should’ve dropped out of the top 10 like Oklahoma with bad losses.
Not enough credit being given to Minn and Baylor for being undefeated so far. Minny just beat #4.

That is an understatement. Oregon lost to Auburn. I think their best win is Washington. Utah is not that much better. I believe they lost to USC. That any PAC-12 team is I the Top 10 is debatable.
And Alabama’s loss at home to LSU is better than Minnesota’s win at home over Penn State. Minnesota should be #5.
So both Utah and Oregon's best wins are against a 6-4 Washington?
The committee has shown you can make up for an earlier season loss... Remember when Clemson lost to Pitt a few years ago and they still won the Natty?
Not that it really matters but it makes absolutely no sense for Utah to be ranked ahead of PSU
their best win is vs Arizona State and they lost to USC

This is not breaking news but this CFP as a whole is worse than the original polls of yesteryear
