It’s pretty simple, honestly. Michigan has a better SoS/Resumé. They’ve beaten 2 more FBS teams with a winning record than State, and while their loss is someone ranked in the top 10, State turned around and lost to what is currently an unranked Purdue team.
Michigan St is the top 10 team Michigan that lost to. Then the committee contrasted Michigan winning their next game against MSU losing their next game. But last weekend, Michigan barely beat a tough but derpy PSU team, while MSU thoroughly dominated Maryland. The committee is valuing head-to-head much more for Oregon (despite their SOR & loss to unranked Stanford) than it is for MSU (because of their SOR & loss to Purdue).

Understood. But you compare resumes first, then look to head to head for a tie breaker.
Consider this:
Michigan has played 5 FBS teams with a winning record, They went 4-1 with an avg margin of victory of 21.4ppg. They've played no FCS opponents, and their one loss is to a 9-1 P5 team.
Mich St has played 3 FBS teams with a winning record. They went 2-1 with an avg margin of victory of 3.3ppg. They've played 1 FCS opponent, and their one loss is to a 6-4 P5 team.
It's a pretty significant difference.

Ok? Penn State is likely seen as a better win than Maryland, and I'd have to agree. Michigan was also on the road while Mich St was at home.
