This discussion is ridiculous. Any secenario where a one loss Michigan gets in over a undefeated or one loss Notre Dame is a waste of breath and if it happened should be the end of the NCAA and the playoff system.
Whatever anyone wants to say, ND didn’t just beat Michigan, they pounded them. The garbage TDs at the end of the game make the score look close, but anyone that watched that game could see Michigan took it in the chin all day. Oh and it happened with ND’s backup Quarterback and RB. Michigan likes to think they’re the only team that improves as the season goes on, to that I say, “Not so fast my friend”.
Secondly, I simply don’t see the strength of schedule that pushes Michigan ahead of ND? Is it the wins over the powerhouse teams of Western Michigan, SMU, Rutgers, Nebraska, Maryland, MSU and Wisconsin. Non of these teams are ranked. They have a ranked PSU team that is terribly overaated. And pulled out a late win agains a Northwestern team that ND pounded.
Go Irish! To hell with Michigan!
