It's probably time for the computer
models to start factoring in games against lower division opponents. Either don't count them at all, which results in one less win (or in Michigan's case would have counted as two losses) or deduct a half win from the total.
In my world if you play a lower division school you should automatically be barred from playing in the championship game. There is no reason to play those schools as there are enough body-baggers in the top division.
