Overall Rationale
A peek "under the hood:" Michigan is 1.14 points/game stronger than Arizona in my computer ranking... and 26.4 points/game stronger than Miami (OH), who doesn't even crack the top 100. To give a cherry-picked metric: The top ten teams have a combined one game that I measure as below average for a D1 team (unsurprisingly, it's Gonzaga getting assblasted by Michigan.) Miami has six.
