Besides, I'd say its 50-50 that right now Michigan could beat them all, just as with USC the year before.

As a Michigan season ticket holder, I'll agree that Michigan might be able to beat all of them. But Michigan lost two games and doesn't deserve a chance given 3 1-loss teams ahead of them. Michigan didn't get the job done. That's the problem with a playoff, it will make a wonderful game like Michigan vs. Ohio State be a battle for seeding.

Yah, but none of those 1-loss teams took a benefitless trip to Autzen. Some loses are flukes, sometimes the gods of football play dice. This is why we need a playoff.
