The Michigan Wolverines will take on Alabama in the ReliaQuest Bowl on Tuesday morning. The game marks a rematch between the two schools from when they faced off in the Rose Bowl last season in the College Football Playoff Semifinal. Michigan won that game 27-20 in overtime, and went on to win the CFP National Championship over Washington.
This season, the two teams will not face off in the CFP. Both teams have lost national championship winning coaches since that matchup, with Nick Saban retiring and Jim Harbaugh leaving to become the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers. Since, Kalen DeBoer has taken over at Alabama while Sherrone Moore has become the head coach of Michigan. This will be Moore's first bowl game as head coach.
This game will mark the sixth bowl game meeting between Michigan and Alabama, and Michigan's seventh appearance in the ReliaQuest Bowl, which was previously named the Hall of Fame Bowl/Outback Bowl. Michigan is 3-2 against Alabama in bowl games, and 1-1 versus the Crimson Tide in the ReliaQuest Bowl.
