I don't see Wisconsin if they win the game as a shoe in without help meaning a loss by Washington

This sounds like it should be true. The problem is that the most obviously best teams are not playing in the Championship game. That does not mean that the winner (especially the Badgers) should not be included should they win, but by losing both of those games, they left the door open. It looks better on paper if the people in the playoff are all zero or one loss teams.
Michigan maybe should be the other two loss team if any in this scenario. I am not sure if the Badgers can beat them, but if they did, they certainly would have been in if that was the scenario that had played out.
