The Wolverines take on Alabama in the CFP Semifinal at the Rose Bowl.
It\u2019s finally here \u2014 the Michigan Wolverines<\/a> are set to take on the Alabama Crimson Tide<\/a> this afternoon in the Rose Bowl<\/a>.
The Wolverines are looking for their first ever playoff victory, but will have a challenge in stopping the Crimson Tide from making their seventh title game in the history of the CFP.
The Crimson Tide are led by quarterback Jalen Milroe who went from benched to the star of the SEC champion. Will Michigan be able to stop him and make the National Championship?
Before we get to the facts of the game, here are some stories our own Trevor Woods has whipped up this week while covering for Maize n Brew in Pasadena:
Now, let\u2019s get to the important stuff you need for today\u2019s game.
Teams:<\/strong> No. 1 Michigan Wolverines<\/a> vs No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide
Date: <\/strong>Monday,<\/strong> Jan. 1, 2024
Location:<\/strong> Rose Bowl, Pasadena, CA
Kickoff: <\/strong>5 p.m. EST
Television: <\/strong>ESPN
Radio:<\/strong> WWJ-AM (950), WTKA-AM (1050)
Spread:<\/strong> Michigan -1.5; O\/U: 44.5
The Wolverines were overmatched in their first playoff game against Georgia and were upset last season against TCU<\/a>. This year they are ranked No. 1 and enter the game as a slight favorite, but many are picking them to lose.
Will Michigan finally get over the hump and get that first playoff win? The team has been able to go undefeated despite all the obstacles that have been thrown its way. The Wolverines have never wavered, and this game shouldn\u2019t be any different.
They have already dealt with great defenses this year, but the Crimson Tide are a different animal. They have the name and the legacy, but the Wolverines have taken care of everyone on their schedule up to this point. They will need to play an elite game to make it to the National Championship.
