When the College Football Playoff Committee released its firsts rankings last week with Michigan ranked No. 5 behind Clemson, it looked it was 13-0 or no playoff berth. While that could still certainly be the case, the Michigan Wolverines got some help this week that could lead to two Big Ten teams getting in.
Clemson and Alabama both lost, likely knocking both of those contenders out. Georgia beat Tennessee as well, but the Volunteers could still get in as a one loss team.
Nonetheless, the goal is the same for Michigan: win and you’re in.
