It was evident the sign-stealing scandal wouldn’t keep an undefeated Michigan team out of the College Football Playoff once their ranking continued to rise in the weeks after.
But once the CFP reveal finally happened Sunday and some more than deserving teams were inevitably left out, disappointed fans started picking out the teams they would have left out, and Michigan became an easy target.
Cheating allegations will do that.
Whether they were Florida State fans, Georgia fans, or just anti-Michigan fans, there was no shortage of people wondering how the Wolverines not only made the playoff, but got rewarded with the top seed.
Why should the #CFBPlayoff Committee keep out a deserving 13-0 #FSU ACC Champs! When #Michigan cheated to win????#CFBPlayoffs #CollegeFootball #CollegeFootballPlayoff

Michigan did a big no-no during the season, no doubt contributing to their undefeated* status. How this leaves them eligible for a bowl is beyond me. Their season should have been over yesterday. #CollegeFootballPlayoff #CFBPlayoffs

I don’t understand how Michigan can even be considered for the CFP when they cheated their way there. This is wrong, they should have been removed from consideration at the onset. #CollegeFootballPlayoff #Michigan

People are saying Michigan shouldn’t make the playoffs because they cheated THIS SEASON. It’s a valid point. And when all of the evidence comes out, the teams who were left out are gonna riot. The rumblings are already getting loud.

This is all meaningless when Michigan cheated to get here the whole time.
