4. Michigan

USA TODAY's 13-person panel voted Alabama the No. 1 seed, Ohio State the No. 2 seed, Louisville the No. 3 seed and Michigan the No. 4 seed in its first projection of 2016. An Alabama-Michigan matchup would feature Nick Saban and Jim Harbaugh on opposing sidelines. An Ohio State-Louisville matchup would feature J.T. Barrett and early Heisman trophy favorite Lamar Jackson, the driver of what Playoff Projection panelist Jim Ross calls “a living, breathing video game.”
