Looking at the rankings right now it's clear that the path to the playoff lies in an easy schedule.
All that matters in the end are Wins & Losses.
Quality of opponents, home & away, and strength of schedule etc only matter on paper.
Michigan could very well be undefeated right now with the schedules of some top 15 teams such as Iowa State.
Michigan should schedule winnable non-conf opponents going forward.
The Big Ten is challenging enough as it is right now.
It's not ideal, but it's just the way it is.
