Michigan and Alabama are set to face off in the postseason once again, but under vastly different circumstances in 2024. Last year, these two powerhouses clashed in the Rose Bowl as part of the College Football Playoff. This time, they’ll meet in the ReliaQuest Bowl, with both teams looking to end their seasons on a high note after falling short of a playoff run.
Alabama enters the game as the heavy favorite, with oddsmakers showing little faith in Michigan’s ability to keep up offensively. The Wolverines’ attack has struggled to find consistency, a concern that will only be magnified without the aid of Colston Loveland, Kalel Mullings and Donovan Edwards.
