Michigan 19 Alabama 13 (ReliaQuest Bowl)

Final.  Someone remind me again why Alabama deserves to be in the playoffs this season.  Lose to Vandy and Oklahoma, both bottom tier conference opponents, now lose to the B1G seventh-best while favored by two touchdowns.

That game got away from Bama in the rain early and we probably didn't get their best performance in a non-CFP game.  But to your point, win more games and get in.

Bama DEFINITELY should have been in the playoff.

This was by no means a typical Alabama team, been obvious all season. To use a Saban thought, this team was full of show dogs and not enough hunting dogs.

Based on pure talent Milroe should possibly be the best Alabama QB maybe ever. That said, there is always just something off about his game.

Michigan beats Alabama on the first day of 2024 and on the last day of 2024.

The team-up North with all of the backups playing with a nice win.

I think most of their DL sat this one out.
