Agreed, but given Iowa is ranked 13th (no matter how right or wrong), I would think Michigan has to lose pretty badly to fall 3 spots and out.
I'm not one for conspiracies and shenanigans, but moving them to #2 was good strategy if the whole thing was about keeping a B1G team in the top 4. Leave Cincinnati at 4, because **** them if they lose. Keep Alabama at #3 because if they lose to #1, meh, it's easily justifiable to keep them in the top 4. So, move Michigan high enough that it would take a monumental loss to kick them out.
