Michigan added to its resume for the College Football Playoff selection committee after Saturday's dominant 42-7 win over Big Ten rival Penn State.
Since losing the season opener to Notre Dame, the Wolverines have reeled off eight straight wins. Their victory over Penn State, ranked No. 14 in the first playoff standings released this week, is their only one against an opponent currently in the Top 25.
In defeat, the Nittany Lions have been eliminated from contention for the Big Ten Championship Game. They are 3-3 in conference play and three games behind Michigan with three contests left to play.
