ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said he has not spoken to Big Ten commissioner Jim Delaney since the league publicly reprimanded him last week and he is ready to move on from his comments about the officiating in his team's loss at Ohio State on Nov. 26 to end the regular season.

Harbaugh spoke to reporters via teleconference on Sunday night for the first time since saying he was "bitterly disappointed" in the referees at the game in Columbus. The league fined Michigan $10,000 last week and reprimanded the coach for violating the league's sportsmanship policy. When asked if those actions would change the way he acts moving forward, Harbaugh said he didn't think it would stop him from speaking his mind.

"I still don't accept it as a given that you can't speak your mind and give your opinion on how you see things," he said. "If telling the truth makes things worse, then so be it."

Harbaugh said he watched the film of the game -- a 30-27 double-overtime loss that ended one play after officials granted a first down to Ohio State's offense on a controversial fourth-down spot -- and it didn't persuade him to reconsider his comments at all. He also disagreed with several other calls made earlier in the game.

"I guess we can all just [say] we see it differently and leave it go at that," Harbaugh said.

Michigan finished sixth in the College Football Playoff rankings on Sunday, landing them a spot in the Capital One Orange Bowl, along with No. 11 Florida State. The loss to Ohio State knocked Michigan out of contention for a Big Ten championship and was a serious detriment to the Wolverines' chances of securing a playoff spot this season. Michigan players said Sunday afternoon they were "disappointed" to come up short of the playoff but were looking forward to playing the Seminoles.

"It's disappointing, it is," Michigan captain Jake Butt said. "But you've got to remind yourself that we put ourselves in that position and we had plenty of opportunities to change outcomes. The season was in our hands, and we didn't get things done when they needed to get done. It's disappointing, but you can't dwell on the past. There's still a big game to play at the end of December. We're not going to let that opportunity slip by worrying about what could have been."

Harbaugh said he didn't think he would have any problems encouraging his team for the coming month.

"I know I'm motivated and ready to put in the work," he said. "I'm looking forward to it."
