I found the original poll question confusing,  because I first thought this was a question about Michigan's easy Big Ten schedule.   

It is clear to me that Michigan benefited from not having to play Indiana, Oregon,  Iowa, ILL.  The 2 teams Michigan played in the BigTen's top 6, USC and OHio St.  Mich lost to badly.  The only decent win Mich has is over Wahington at home.  Michigan's record is a product of its easy schedule.

But Texas didn't win the tough non-con game.  So it's not helping the resume'.  It's torpedoing the resume'.

And by lumping Texas in against the other 3-loss teams you're doing the same thing the committee and the voters always do, kindergarten level analysis.

Does any other team in college football have wins against what will be 3 Top 12 teams at the end of this weekend? 
what I'm sayin is that in a group of 3-loss teams, the tough non-con loss helps\
so, according to the question - you rank them higher

None, as far as I can tell. That's impressive.

I had a long-ass, thorough post on OU-Texas and Texas-UM, but it got errored out of existence, so fuck that.

Summary of Texas/UM:  neither has a very strong resume to be in the playoff, so neither can complain if they're left out.

If Duke wins the ACC with 5 losses, do they put in 2 G5 conference champs at the expense of the ACC?

Probably, if they are ranked higher, for sure.

Go Duke.  Then the format will change again.  Imagine the top G5 champion got a bye.

the ACC would be a good place for them to do that - less competition, less TV revenue
