While not officially a "New Year's Six" game, the Citrus Bowl showdown between the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Michigan Wolverines will probably be the most-watched game on the first day of the new calendar year.
No disrespect to Auburn vs. Minnesota in the Outback Bowl, Baylor vs. Georgia in the Sugar Bowl or Wisconsin vs. Oregon in the "Granddaddy of Them All," but we're talking about two of the biggest fanbases and the two winningest FBS programs of all time here.
It might not be a bowl game that "matters," but there's an awful lot at stake in the Citrus Bowl.
