Wolverines should move into #4 ranking

[bmw]

Wow, with all the early season talk in here about how bad Michigan is, they're primed to move solidly into the 4th and final playoff slot after beating PSU and after LSU getting thumped by Alabama (which, Alabama should be in its own football league).

Rutgers and Indiana should be relatively easy wins, so it all comes down to OSU the final game of the season.

Georgia may take the 4th spot...
Beat a higher ranked team on the road.
The playoff had Kentucky #9 and Penn State #14. Georgia wins on the road and the game wasn't close.

Someone was an optimist even after ND...

All in one Top 25 Rankings. AP still pending when posted.

Perhaps they should add the MW Poll. Maybe it will become as famous as the WMPL Hockey Poll.

With Georgia playing Alabama for the SEC Title, Michigan will all be but guaranteed a spot in the Top 4 if they win out.

Also, the AP poll is out....Michigan #4

I'm still not sure Michigan beats out Georgia for #4.
It doesn't matter what any if us think about Kentucky the committee has them top 10 at #9. Georgia will get credit for that win on the road.

Does Georgia have a similar streak to dominating Wisconsin, Michigan State, and Penn State in consecutive games?

None of those three are anything to write home about and Georgia plays in the NFL... ahem... the SEC... just by being in that conference you get a leg up if you are halfway decent... they have one loss where they were blown away and 3 wins against ranked teams where they blew the opponent away including the #9 and #11 team in back to back weeks... I would argue that’s more impressive than what Michigan did against teams that *were* highly ranked before we played them but fell awhile ago... it is a very close call though...

Not interested in a debate because I'm not making a prediction. I am saying the committee has a history of making head scratching choices by most people's standard and IF they bumped Georgia it wouldn't be the biggest head scratcher.

Michigan's Strength of Schedule ranks #13 while Georgia's ranks #22. Michigan was already ahead of Georgia - and since they did beat a ranked team themselves, I don't see Georgia leap-frogging them.

Fair point on the SOS. But while we were ahead of Georgia in the CFP we have no clue by how much.

If Georgia, Alabama, Clemson, ND and UM wins out, and then Georgia wins the SEC championship, both Alabama and Georgia will make the playoff, and Michigan will stay home even if they win out due to the ND loss.
