Michigan St is the top 10 team Michigan that lost to.
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.
quote:
Then the committee contrasted Michigan winning their next game with MSU losing their next game. But last weekend, Michigan barely beat a tough but derpy PSU team, while MSU thoroughly dominated Maryland.
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.

Just a little food for thought:
Say we beat Georgia in the SEC Championship Game. Yes, I know it's going to be a tough game to win, but just humor me.
We would obviously jump to #1 in the rankings and Georgia would also be selected by the committee.
Let's also assume Oregon and Ohio State win out.
It's certainly possible if Oregon can get by Utah on Saturday. I don't see another potential loss on their schedule.
I don't think Michigan nor Michigam State can hang with the Buckeyes offensively.
So, in this scenario your four playoff teams would be Georgia, Oregon, Ohio State and US.
Seeing that the committee tends to stay away from rematches in the semi-finals we would probably end up with this:
1. Alabama
2. Oregon
3. Georgia
4. Ohio State
That would completely suck for us. Yes, Oregon beat Ohio State earlier this season. Ohio State would boat race Oregon if they played right now.
Basically, we would be in a war with the Buckeyes while Georgia would cruise to the championship game.
