Where will Michigan be ranked in the first CFP rankings?
Tonight is the unveiling of the first CFP rankings on ESPN at 7. So where do you think Michigan ends up? Do they stay at 5? Does UGA jump them?
Also, who is your top 10?
My prediction:
Bama, Clemson, ND, LSU, UM, UGA, Oklahoma, OSU, Wazzou, UCF.
Do not want to put OSU there but think the committee will.
What say you?

Who has OSU beat to be at #8? TCU is a dumpster fire right now and if we beat PSU this weekend, they will have 3 losses!

Well, who has Michigan beaten if three losses is so bad? Literally not one team with fewer than three losses.
Your take is over-simplified.

I want Michigan to be 4 or 5 (more likely 5). But, can you imagine the outrage on this site if they are 7 behind Oklahoma and GA? It will be a site to be seen. Multiple hot take and outrage threads.

That would really stink and create a giant hill to climb for the good guys, even if we win out in convincing fashion. Oklahoma has the easier remaining schedule so not sure the committee wants to give them a free pass. Thus, I think we take the #5 spot.

Being ranked 7th would be no giant hill. Enough losses are still ahead for the top teams that a ranking of 7th would still be top 4 if they keep winning.
Just keep winning. All complaints by a dissatisfied ranking will be proven inconsequential if they just keep winning.

Bama, Clemson, ND, UM, LSU, UGA, Oklahoma, OSU

5.
I think LSU will be #2. Potentially, #1 with all the wins and the criteria Arb Lover laid out for us.
They will set up Bama/LSU as #1 vs. #2 matchup.
Clemson #3. ND #4. Michigan #5.
OSU in the 8-11 range. Possibly below WSU, Kentucky, & WVU.
UCF no better than 12.

Probably stay at #5, but it doesn't really matter. Beat PSU

I honestly don’t care about the playoffs right now. I just want Michigan to beat OSU.
