That comeback Northwestern win is incrementing in significance for Michigan but like all of the Big Ten, it's looking like Michigan doesn't really have any seriously  good wins yet. Really hope PSU wins.
I could not disagree more. Michigan’s manhandling Wisconsin, was a high quality win. Their win in Spartan stadium is a high quality win.
They are capapble of playing with ANY team.  any team.   Looking like they may be paired against Iowa in the CG, which will be tough but a quality win. The only team that can stop them now is them.  That defense though...,...

BRUTALLY stupid face mask penalty. That run was already gang tackled and then it got that dumb mistake late.

I think Michigan is a seriously good team. Just as I think of Clemson. But even though I don't care about the rankings, per se, I would like to see Michigan rack up a win where they crush a Top 10 or 15 type team ... and not in terms of game time ranking but in terms of objective quality.
I'm not worried about Michigan, to be clear. I just think the resumé is lacking. People talk like it's a great resumé, but it's merely fine/good. Ditto with clemson, but with them the narrative gets it right.

I see where you coming from.  I think it is misplaced worry.  If they win, they are in. Period.  Then you will see them play a top 5 team.  
I actually would look forward to it because it because I think they would do well.

"I think batted balls (by the DL) should be outlawed in college football."
What kind of stupid hot take is that?

I would add, if ( and it is an if) your only loss was to ND, at night on the road, and you beat Wisconsin, MSU, PSU, OSU and let’s say Iowa, your resume would be as good or better than anyone in the playoff.

I agree. OSU is guaranteed to be the type of quality opponent. And the winner of Iowa (obvs hypothetical) or PSU would be too.
But so far Michigan is merely good because it's good. It hasn't claimed any awesome scalps.

DT from Iowa with a heck of an over the shoulder catch for a TD.
