Michigan fans on multiple local sports stations saying they're better than ND because the Wolverines did better against Alabama 

Now, yeah, I guess they scored 7/8 points more. They managed to hit 2 hail mary-type plays. Congratulations on the low percentage throws, they hit 2 out of 5 or 6 they attempted.
Now, I'd have to go back and rewatch that game, but from vague memory, I'd say Michigan's defense tried harder against Alabama than ND's did. Roughly the same result, though.
I guess it's the sign that we need the playoffs, cause the alternative of say OSU making it in over Alabama (or say KSU not losing to Baylor), is that the Alabama team that literally opened it's fly and pissed on a curb-stomped ND, would have been left out.
Though, I'm sure at least UGA would have done the same.
