Michigan may have lost to Michigan State two weeks ago, but the College Football Playoff Committee hasn’t penalized them much for that 37-33 defeat in East Lansing. In the latest CFP Top 25, Michigan moved ahead of Michigan State to No. 6 in the rankings, while the Spartans are now at No. 7.
College Football Playoff Chairman Gary Barta said that there were heated debates last week in regards to who’s the better of the two, and those debates continued this week — a week in which Michigan beat Indiana 29-7, and Michigan State lost at Purdue 40-29 and gave up 536 yards through the air.
