The Michigan Wolverines now know their bowl fate, as they will be heading to to Vrbo Citrus Bowl on Jan. 1 in Orlando, Florida to take on the Alabama Crimson Tide. This had been a rumored potential matchup throughout the week and it was reported on Sunday afternoon just a few hours after the College Football Playoff field was announced. Stadium’s Brett McMurphy had it first.
Alabama-Michigan will play in Citrus Bowl, sources told @Stadium. Hopefully bowl contract requires both head coaches to ride tea cups together at Disney World

Michigan is coming off of a 9-3 regular season that had losses to Wisconsin, Penn State and Ohio State, while Alabama was 10-2 and lost to LSU and Auburn.
