Not to offend U. of Michigan supporters, but me, an alumnus of the U. of Iowa, could not be happier that Michigan lost today's pivotal college football game to Ohio State. On any other Saturday, I'd be completely happy to see Ohio State lose. It would have been best if both teams had lost, but, alas, given that they were playing each other, that couldn't happen.
But Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh is the Donald Trump of college football, and, predictably, threw a whining tantrum against the officiating at the end of the double-overtime loss. Yo, Jim, you wouldn't have been in this position if Iowa hadn't beaten you two weeks ago. Suck it up. You'll get a nice bowl game bid, but you won't participate in the four-team playoff for the national championship this year. Ya wins some, ya loses some. Show some class.
The four-team playoff? My prediction, pending the conference championship games next week:
Alabama (undefeated, a lock)
Clemson
Penn State or Wisconsin (whoever wins the Big Ten championship game)
Washington (if they win the Pac-10 championship game)
If Washington loses, then Ohio State will sneak into the quartet.
