Based on this, after Saint Haden, Iowa deserves canonization consideration. Without Iowa, there'd be no path for Warshington to get in. I also think I was rooting for the wrong team when I wanted Michigan to beat OSU.
Two tings:
1. If Michigan hadn't shit itself against Iowa, Ohio State would be playing Wisconsin and the committee could take the four best conference champs. Michigan would probably be ahead of Washington now but they would switch if Washington won the Pac.
2. If Michigan hadn't shit itself against Ohio State, the Buckeyes would be where Michigan is now and Michigan would be playing Wisconsin.
TL, DR: Michigan screwed up the Big Ten championship but everything else is fine.
I'm really glad I don't have to see how this board would have reacted when a Michigan Big 10 champ and 2-loss OSU got in over a 1-loss Pac-12 champ.
Wait, that would have been the one and only silver lining in getting jobbed by the committee.
There's no way the committee would have taken 10-2 Ohio State over 12-1 Washington, just like there is no way they would take 10-2 Michigan over 12-1 Washington.

You? guys get in if you? beat us?. We? need some help if we? beat you?. If we? win and Clemson loses are they really going to put 3 B10 teams in the playoff over a 2 loss P12 champ who will have played a reasonably tough non-con?

Probably not. But Oklahoma could factor
Doubt it. Colorado is already ahead of OU, plays a better team, plays at a neutral site rather than at home, and gets to win a conference championship game which OU doesn't. There's no way for OU to jump the winner of the Pac12 championship or the winner of the Big 10 championship.

Could be. But given their position in the rankings this week and that they play #10 Ok St while we? play #4 UW it seems unlikely they'd jump us? if both teams won. Given the matchups it's more likely CU would jump the B10 champ than that. I'm not sure either is all that likely.

Are we done here?
But you! won't.
Even with a Clemson loss and UW loss, OU's out.
The only way CU is getting in is a SMOD strike.
