It would certainly be an interesting dilemma for the committee considering Michigan beat Colorado and Ohio State beat Oklahoma. With the Wolverines at No. 5 as the highest-ranked two-loss team, the Wolverines still have the best résumé of any remaining contender.
In a year of craziness in college football, that would take things to an unthinkable level of madness.
