nw____ 4 Say what you will about their schedule, they haven't played in a close game all season. If I had to pick a #1 based purely on performance and ceiling rather than resume, Michigan would be a *clear* #1-- it would be 1) Michigan, 2) [empty], 3) [empty], ...

70stang 5 Tier 2 is comprised of undefeated teams with multiple P5 wins, and no ranked wins. This is a very short tier.
Michigan sits at the top of this tier, with 5 P5 wins and 3 G5 wins to be 8-0.
They definitively sit higher than Georgia in this tier due to having played one more total game, no games against FCS competition, and 1 more P5 game.
bretticus733 5 Michigan has looked like the best team of the season with their pure domination so far, but the ease of schedule is what keeps them outside the CFP.

sleemoislife 1 Movement: none
Reasoning: Lots of media buzz for U of M this past week due to yet another NCAA scandal. If this negative press had any impact on the game, it seemed to only make the Wolverines more focused in decimating their rival, with FanDuel now pegging JJ McCarthy as Heisman favorite. U of M has taken care of every opponent handily, earning my number one spot, although I can understand ranking other teams higher due to weak SOS. The three game stretch to close the season for Michigan will be telling Also, I can't help but mention MSU football's own scandal this week showing an image of a certain Austrian painter on their big screen. MSU can't seem to catch a break this year.

Prof_Pie 2 Slightly less difficult schedule than OSU this year so far, should be a great heavy-weight match-up soon. Although they didn't have Stalion at the penn game, so maybe they won't be able to rely on some of their shadier tactics.

JetoGrov 5 Still have a hard time distinguishing Michigan from UGA...with one exception...Michigan beats the brakes off of teams. Wins over UNLV, BGSU, and Rutgers are better than people thought they would be, and this team is dominant from a game control stance (insert sign stealing joke).

CallingUagoatUgoat 11 0 SP+ T-10 or T-25 wins. Yes, I know they've looked good against the weakest P5 schedule in the country and I know SP+ has them ranked #1, but in the words of Brandon Walker, "They haven't played a game yet!". My rankings don't reward teams for playing soft schedules. And, if I'm honest, I think the CFB committee and the AP poll should have the same mantra and force teams to schedule better teams, specifically in their non-conference schedules.
