The Michigan Wolverines are officially set to face the Alabama Crimson Tide in the College Football Playoff. The two teams will meet in the Rose Bowl with a chance to advance to the National Championship and face the winner of Washington vs. Texas. Despite being the No. 1 seed, it could be argued Michigan still got the toughest draw of opponents with Alabama entering the contest as white-hot SEC Champions.
It will be a difficult challenge for the Wolverines, but this isn’t the Alabama of old or even the Alabama team Michigan lost to, 35-16, in the Citrus Bowl in Jan.
