Michigan continues to be in a great spot heading into The Game against Ohio State.

The Wolverines remain locked in at the No. 4 spot on the latest College Football Playoff Top 25. While that is a good spot to be in, there is still plenty of work to do in order to reach the Playoff.

The goal is simple enough: win out and Michigan should be a lock for the final four. That would require a road win over Ohio State this Saturday and then a win over Northwestern for a second time this season in the B1G Championship Game.

As Michigan prepares for the rival showdown with Ohio State, ESPN discussed what a potential semifinal matchup between the Wolverines and Alabama would look like. According to ESPN, the Crimson Tide would be nearly a two-touchdown favorite with Westgate favoring Alabama -13. On the other side of the hypothetical bracket, Westgate would favor Clemson -11.5 over Notre Dame.

Can Michigan make the Playoff and get a shot at taking down Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide?
