I feel sorry for the College Football Playoff Selection Committee this week, and I say that as somebody who judges their rankings, telling the committee what it got right but mostly what it got wrong.

This week, though, the committee had a near-impossible task.

Alabama is an obvious No. 1, but after that, things are absolutely wide open. No matter what the committee put out this week, somebody was going to be mad, and they were going to have a valid case.

I suppose it's my job to figure out which team has more of an argument, and that's the burden I will gladly shoulder yet again. Don't take it personal, CFP. It's just business.

No. 3 Michigan -- (Ever-s0-slightly) overrated

Listen, this is nit-picky as hell, but I don't have a problem with the committee's top four. At this point, the four teams the committee's chosen are the right four teams for now. I just don't think Michigan should be ahead of Clemson.

Both teams have one loss and neither is a loss to feel proud about. I'm guessing Michigan got the edge because at least it lost on the road, but let's compare wins. Michigan's best win is over No. 7 Wisconsin, while Clemson's best win is over No. 5 Louisville. Michigan also has a win over No. 8 Penn State (as well as one over No. 10 Colorado) but it was a much different Penn State team Michigan played, one with a lot of injuries on defense.

Clemson also has wins over No. 15 Auburn and No. 17 Florida State. Again, this is a nit-pick, but when comparing the two, I believe Clemson's win over Louisville should give it a slight edge here.

Maybe the committee just thought it would be cool to have Ohio State and Michigan in a semifinal.

No. 7 Wisconsin -- Underrated

This is another minor disagreement, but it's a problem I have nonetheless. Wisconsin should be ranked ahead of Washington at this point. I understand Washington has one loss while Wisconsin has two, and I understand that's the reason Washington remains ahead of Wisconsin. I get it, I just don't agree with it.

Wisconsin's two losses are to two of the top four teams in these rankings (Ohio State and Michigan), and they're both seven-point losses, one of which was in overtime. The Badgers also have a win over No. 18 Nebraska. Washington's loss is to No. 13 USC, and its best win is No. 12 Utah.

These are the obvious reasons why Washington is ahead of Wisconsin, and logically, it all makes sense.

I just think we need to closely examine that Washington loss as it came at home by 13 points. We also need to take overall strength of schedule into consideration. There's no question Wisconsin has played the more difficult schedule, and if the extra loss is an overtime loss to the No. 2 team in the country, I'm just not going to punish Wisconsin too harshly for it. In my mind, right now, Wisconsin is a better team.

No. 19 Tennessee -- Overrated

Hey, Tennessee fans already hate me, so I've got nothing to lose.

Last week, Tennessee's resume wasn't good enough to earn a spot in the CFP Rankings. Now I'm supposed to believe that a 13-point win over Kentucky changes things so dramatically that the Vols should jump right in at No. 19?

Tennessee's best win is over No. 23 Florida, and it has losses to No. 1 Alabama, No. 25 Texas A&M and a 5-5 South Carolina team. I know it was dealing with injuries, and it's getting healthier now. I think this is going to be the team that ends up winning the SEC East, but 19 is just too high right now.

No. 21 Western Michigan -- Underrated

This isn't really about the number next to Western Michigan's name as it is the fact that it is ranked behind Boise State. I know Western Michigan plays in the MAC and that the committee is never going to respect the Broncos schedule too much because of it, but this is still a team that's 10-0. I don't care who you are or where you play, going undefeated is really hard to do, and right now Western Michigan is three wins away from doing it.

Boise State has a win over Washington State, but I'm not sure that's reason enough to put it ahead of the Broncos. After all, Boise played Washington State a week after it lost to Eastern Washington. It wasn't exactly the team it is now at that point, particularly because I'm not even sure Boise State's the best team in its own conference. I guess that's why none of this may matter in the long run anyway.

No. 10 Colorado -- Just right

The Buffaloes don't have a great win yet, so it's hard to justify ranking them any higher than this. Their best win is over No. 24 Stanford, but the meat of Colorado's schedule is yet to come. On the other side of the coin, Colorado doesn't have a bad loss. It's lost to No. 3 Michigan and No. 13 USC, and it played well in both of those losses. I think keeping Colorado at No. 10 is the perfect spot because it rewards the Buffaloes for playing well this year, but it also makes the point that there's still a lot left to prove.
