There was no game on Saturday for Michigan, but its sitting pretty right now in the eyes of bowl projection experts.
The fifth-ranked Wolverines remain a strong prospect to make the four-team College Football Playoff after this season, according to the latest projections from ESPN and CBS Sports.
ESPN's Kyle Bonagura and Mitch Sherman still list Michigan (7-1, 5-0 Big Ten) in the playoff, projecting the Wolverines to play Alabama on Dec. 29 in the Cotton Bowl in Arlington, Texas.
Neither writer has Michigan winning and advancing to the national championship, however.

There's a similar projection over at CBS Sports, where Jerry Palm also has Michigan playing in the Cotton Bowl, one of two College Football Playoff semi-final round games.
