Michigan is 100% out before any other consideration. They're a two loss team that won't play for a championship. I'd like to think they're still top 4 but the way the committee does it they don't stand a chance. It has to be Alabama, Clemson if they win out, probably an undeserving ohio state and then either the big 10 or pac12 winner. If it's Washington they get in over the big 10 winner I'd think and if it's CU they probably get left at home in favour of whoever wins the big 10.

Resume or not I think it's ridiculous that a team that didn't win its division or conference can be in the playoff but that's the way it is.

Edit: if your goal is to get the four best teams without concern for conference titles you'd take Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State, and Michigan. But I might be slightly biased.
