- Michigan is so one-dimensional offensively, which will cause them major problems against Alabama’s physical front.
- Michigan’s strength of schedule ranked 33rd in college football per ESPN, compared to Alabama being battle tested with the fifth toughest schedule.
The Rose Bowl will be the site of the first College Football Playoff semifinal this year and Alabama vs Michigan will be the matchup in Pasadena. In that game, expect the Alabama Crimson Tide to win outright as a slight underdog. The Tide have been better in playoff scenarios than Michigan for years now, while the lackluster strength of schedule for Michigan this season raises some major concerns, especially given how one-dimensional the Wolverines have been offensively despite that weak schedule. Alabama should be able to stop the run, force Michigan to exit its comfort zone, and win this contest to advance to the national title game.
