If Michigan beats OSU or plays a very strong game against them while beating Wisconsin it should make a case for loosing to ASU as being more of an aberration. Or at the very least be viewed as not being the same team that started the year.

The argument would likely be against a potential UM vs. Oregon rematch in the Rose Bowl. However, if OSU remains No.#1, and Michigan becomes the potential Big Ten alternate representative for the bowl, that is the likely dilemma.

Michigan however, is a better draw than Wisconsin for any bowl committee, because when it comes to bowl selections, it’s all about money.

As we all know this picture will clear itself up in the next few weeks.
