Where to watch Alabama vs Michigan on TV and stream online: ReliaQuest Bowl
Last year’s champions take on the No.13 seeds in Tampa, Florida on New Year’s Eve. Here’s how to follow the game.
For the first time in its 38-year history, the ReliaQuest Bowl moves back a day and will take place on New Year’s Eve - the first time that the game has been played in December.
Last year’s Championship winners Michigan will take on the Alabama Crimson Tide in another contest between Big Ten and SEC teams in Tampa’s festive football matchup.
Both programs are familiar with this particular bowl game and have even met a number of times since it was created almost 40 years ago. Michigan and Alabama faced off in the second edition in 1988 when it was known as the Hall of Fame Bowl and again in 1997 with both teams enjoying a win each. They also met in last year’s CFP semi-final, the Rose Bowl, which the Wolverines won 27-20..
Alabama’s bowl record is impressive: 44-26-3 - with more appearances and wins that any other FBS college. Michigan’s meanwhile stands at 23–29 from 53 bowl games. This will be the seventh time the two programs have crossed paths with a balance of three wins each.
The ReliaQuest Bowl isn’t part of the College Football Playoffs but nevertheless promises to be an attractive contest to end the year on.
