I'm just saying I do not think Michigan is a buffer against UCF. I think the committee ranks them in the moment, and does not look ahead and think about what if scenarios.Is Memphis even ranked? They would have to be mightily convincing to jump UM IMO. Seems silly to have UCF jump Michigan for a blow out win that Michigan could have also easily had if they were to play Memphis.
Full Disclosure: I have absolutely zero desire to play stupid UCF without their QB. It'd be the easiest game in the playoffs ever.
Looking at it technically, you are right, Memphis is not a ranked opponent. I just think that UCF would benefit from playing a game, where as Michigan is stuck at home playing no one. I'm not saying I know that will be enough for UCF to jump them, just that I think its possible.
I agree. The playoff match up with them would be a mauling never before seen in a championship level game.
