12-1 Michigan > 11-1 Notre Dame > 12-1 Ohio State

I really hope ND loses to the Orange so we can see this play out so I can gloat about it, but they probably won’t, so nevermind.
Basically UM’s SOS will be somewhere around #5 if they win out; ND’s will be ~25; tOSU’s will be ~40.
UM > 1-loss ND because of a better record and tougher schedule. Better record + tougher schedule pretty much always wins; the late hypothetical loss by ND only adds to it. tOSU’s big loss to Purdue + weaker schedule will negate the slim winning % margin they’d have over 1-loss ND.
I can’t tell you how important it is for all of you to bookmark this post. Cereal.

So Michigan doesn't play Ohio State this year?

Surprised this needs to be explained.
“12-1 Michigan” implies Michigan wins out.
“11-1 Notre Dame” implies Notre Dame loses one before the end of the regular season.
“12-1 Ohio State” implies Ohio State wins out.

Ohio State and Michigan already have one loss and they still play each other.
Posted on 11/5/18 at 9:31 pm to xiv
Gonna be kind of hard for Ohio State and Michigan to both finish with one loss since they each already have a loss and still have to play each other in a few weeks

He's saying that if Michigan wins out they should be in ahead of a one loss ND (hypothetical) even though ND won the head to head.
If Ohio St wins out they shouldn't get in ahead of a one loss ND.

Jesus, guys.
If Notre Dame goes 11-1 and Michigan goes 12-1, Michigan will be ranked ahead of Notre Dame.
If Notre Dame goes 11-1 and Ohio State goes 12-1, Notre Dame will be ranked ahead of Ohio State.

Nope but it could spark Notre Dame joining a conference. Also they’d be losing really late in the year to a soft team with no conference championship to rectify that win. Literally 0% chance

Except head to head is literally a stated criteria the committee considers, and last I checked Notre Dame still has that over Michigan. If Notre Dame's one loss is a close game to a 10-2 Syracuse, who will likely be in the 10-15 range if they beat ND, on a "neutral" field in Yankee Stadium, ND will be very close to getting in.

Sure that's possible, but really if that is the case it would be between getting the 3 and 4 seed, and the only difference at that point is losing to Bama in the semis vs in the finals.

That would be a test to see how much a conference championship matters. The worst case for the Big 12 is having WVU and OU split the last week of the season and the Big 12 Championship.
