With 2 terrible teams left
Yeah, the last two teams will tank their SOS a bit, but their SOS is light-years ahead of both Ohio State and Michigan, and outside of playing each other neither has a decent team remaining (though obviously better than Vandy).
It's hard to see them suddenly leapfrogging Tennessee in SOS from just those two games when you consider Tennessee had Georgia, Alabama and LSU on their regular season schedule.

With identical records and no championship Tennessee should definitely be in over Michigan.
Team 1 - 1 loss, only loss is blowout loss to #1 or #2 seed on the road.
Team 2 - 1 loss, only loss is close competitive game on the road to #1 or #2 seed on the road.
Think they’re taking Team 1 or 2 there?

Would be a toss up

You're applying the "only losses matter" logic.
Tennessee has wins over (based on playoff rankings):
#7 LSU
#9 Alabama
#24 Kentucky
Michigan has wins over:
#14 Penn State
Pending games with:
#21 Illinois (likely to fall out if they lose to Michigan)
#2 Ohio State (irrelevant for this simply because if they win, their record is not identical to Tennessee)
Are you saying we should reward Michigan's absurdly weak schedule just for being close to Ohio State at the end of the game?

Yup.
I been trying to tell all these goobers, but it's like explaining something to my sister's two year old.

They're taking the team with the better resume.
Which is hands down UT.

Better brand name? Michigan, not close
Only loss to a team in the playoffs? If it’s a close loss Michigan looks like a much better matchup with Georgia, who they’d play in the first round.
You guys seem to think a semi-decent schedule trumps perception and profit in this case.
It doesn’t.

Better loss?
Better perception to the committee?
We’ll get to see what the right call would have been after expansion. Before? They’re fairly predictable.
