Did College Football Playoff Committee mess up?

How is it that Michigan did not fall a spot after losing to Iowa? Should Louisville have gotten into the top 4?
I think Michigan should have AT LEAST dropped to 4 or 5 after losing to an unranked Iowa team. Most teams drop at least a few spots for losing to a ranked team, I just do not see how this makes sense.
Thoughts?

There's still 3 more weeks left. It doesn't matter.

If that was the only game last weekend, then yes they would have dropped.
This poll does not matter and the committee is well aware of that.

It'll all work itself out

Quit looking at how they are compared to last week and start looking at how their resume looks compared to others.
You shouldn't get punished for losing late. It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard

idk.. I was always against the notion that every time a team loses they drop in the rankings. I am pretty sure when LSU lost to Bama a couple of weeks ago, they dropped ~5 spots, but should that really be the case when #15 loses to the consensus #1?
in the LSU scenario it's moot, but in general, I like how the committee seems to put more thought into it.

Yes. They continuously change the rules used week to week. There is no form of logic that would help you to understand their line of reasoning. Hopefully this mess is replaced sooner rather than later.

How the3 F are they going to deal with the likely scenario of OSU winning out, and Wisconsin beating Penn St for the conference championship. Two teams from one conference in the final 4, neither of which were even in their conference championship. Going to be a clusterfrick.

That won't happen.

Probably not, but they are going to have to arbitrarily drop one or both of them.

The commitee ranks the teams based on their resumes. Looks like they've got them ranked right, imo. Teams' resumes will change each week and the committee will rerank them all based on their resumes at that point. It's the right way to do it. The four teams with the best resumes will be in. It'll all work itself out.

These rankings are easily the best we've had
They aren't based on some "experts" eye test. They look at who did you beat. Who did you lose to.

Wrong you should absolutely get punished for losing late. Your 10 games into the season. you should be firing on all cylinders. Your freshman are no longer freshman at this point.
And if you don't have the depth to keep it up then who says you'd have the depth to go win a playoff?
So Michigan doesn't drop a spot after losing to Iowa?? so why would Michigan drop any if they lose to a much better ohio state? You might as well not play the rest of the games since the committee has already picked who they want.

This is how they like it. It will help hype the Ohio St v. Michigan game even more.
It's pretty much set up as the winner of the SEC, winner of the big 10, and winner of the ACC. With that final spot going to Washington/Oklahoma/runner-up from those first three.
That is, of course, assuming that someone random team doesn't sneak away with the ACC/SEC/Big10 title

So I can just backload all my easy games so I don't lose? Just ignore those losses I had earlier. My freshman were still freshman at the point.
The idea that a late season loss is somehow worse than an early season loss is completely moronic. You know every team gets better throughout the season right?

Because losing two games will put their resume below other teams.

There is no perfect way to do it. Polls will inherently be subjective and computer rankings have trouble taking external factors into consideration.
People bitched incessantly about the BCS, but this is just the BCS with the ability to override results they don't like.

You mean what Tennessee has done for the last 20 years?
