LIVE: Updates, highlights from Alabama vs. Michigan in CFP semifinal
The Wolverines are undefeated this season. They've gone 13-0, earning the top spot in the Big Ten conference and the No. 1 ranking in college football. But their Rose Bowl opponent is the best team they'll see this season.
The Crimson Tide, controversially, were voted into the College Football Playoff as the final seed. They lost to Texas --- the No. 3 seed in the playoff --- early in the season by 10 points. And they nearly lost a second game to Auburn late in the season.
Alabama owns the No. 26 offense and defense in the country. Its opponent has the best defense in the country, allowing fewer than 10 points per game to their opponents this season.
Both teams are led by stellar quarterbacks. Alabama's Jalen Milroe has thrown for more than 2,700 yards with 23 touchdowns and six interceptions. Michigan quarterback JJ McCarthy has thrown for nearly the same number of yards with 19 touchdowns and four interceptions.
