   I am pretty sure the committee has already said, "No, we won't - it's the Big   
   Ten's and the NCAA's problem, not ours."   
      
   The only ways I can see the CFP getting involved is if either:   
   (a) Michigan is hit with a postseason ban just before the playoffs, in which   
   case, the CFP has to scramble to find a replacement (which is one reason I   
   don't see this happening in the first place), or   
   (b) Michigan wins the CFP championship but, for some reason, has to vacate the   
   championship game win, in which case, the CFP could strip Michigan of its   
   championship. Note that, going by a strict reading of the NCAA Bylaws, the CFP   
   cannot demand that the    
   players give back their championship rings, since, technically, the CFP wasn't   
   authorized to give them out in the first place (one of the problems of the   
   championship game technically not being a "bowl game"). In theory, it could   
   demand that Michigan    
   give back the trophy, under penalty of not being eligible to be ranked (in   
   other words, a de facto indefinite playoff ban) until it does.
