If the Michigan football team wins out, the Wolverines will make the College Football Playoff. A 10-2 season with a win over Ohio State would be more than enough to get the Wolverines into the 12-team playoff.
That's especially true when comparing some of Michigan's wins to other elite college football programs. Michigan might not have a top-25 win, although Washington should have been ranked and still deserves consideration; still, its resume is in the same category as some of the elite programs in college football this season.
Michigan's resume is in elite company
According to Cody Kellner, Michgan football is one of just four teams in college football this season to have beaten at least four FBS teams with winning records.
