I want the Lions to draft him....bad. 

Amon-Ra St Brown, Jameson Williams, and Charlie Jones would be a nasty young WR corps.

TCU did not win their conference. 
neither did Alabama. Or Ohio State. Those teams didn't even get to play for their conference. They ass was sittin' at home.

According to a joint report from NFL insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero, multiple NFL teams have been conducting background work on Harbaugh for potential jobs. And while Harbaugh said he intends to remain at Michigan after NFL flirtations last season, one source believes the right job could entice Harbaugh.

From the report:

One NFL source plugged into the situation said they believe Harbaugh would consider a return to the NFL, and a source with another team that could be running a head-coaching search said they believe Harbaugh would discuss an opening if asked and weigh the right situation.
this NFL sh*t ain't ever gonna end with Harbaugh. Even if he stays at Michigan for the next 10 years. Every off-season they're gonna have to deal with it.

I think it's misoverestimated.

They have some influence, mostly among fans who watch the shows and maybe think their "experts" are really experts.  I doubt Vegas, for example, gives them any time of day.

This FPI thing routinely includes oddities and I think very few people pay it any attention.

Oh, I think some folks overestimate it

but, controlling how much media attention and what type of attention certain conferences, teams, coaches, and players get is powerful

When your conference champs have 2-3-4 losses, I don't have qualms about leaving them out for one loss at large teams.  It's still a judgment, at some point one could rationalize a two loss team getting in of course (short of the 12 thing).

why don't we just come out of the dark and admit it's not about being fair or deserving.......

it's about fan's interest, TV ratings, and $$$
