To the small but loud group saying Michigan's win yesterday wasn't impressive, PSU is 5th in SP+ and the highest ranked team to lose at home. So arguably, it was actually the most impressive win by any team this year (I'd give it to Texas over Bama, but you get the point).

As OSU-Rutgers further reveals, the primary reason OSU fans are so invested in Michigan being banned from the Big Ten Championship Game or CFP is because they know what is going to happen in Ann Arbor on Nov. 25. If they felt confident OSU would win, they wouldn't care as much.

Raising this point again: if Michigan had scheduled a MAC team instead of Notre Dame, Michigan would still have an outside shot at making the CFP. Until the committee changes its ways, don't schedule tough non-conference opponents. The risk of losing is not worth the reward.
