The Michigan Wolverines will face the Alabama Crimson Tide in the College Football Playoff semifinals at the 2023 Rose Bowl on New Year's Day on ESPN.
The Wolverines are undefeated this season. They went 13-0, earning first place 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, was voted into the College Football Playoff as the final seed. They lost to Texas – the No. 3 seed in the playoffs – early in the season by 10 points. And they almost lost a second game to Auburn late in the season.
Alabama has the nation's No. 26 offense and defense. Their opponent has the best defense in the country, allowing less than 10 points per game to their opponents this season.
Both teams are led by stellar quarterbacks. Alabama's Jalen Milroe threw for over 2,700 yards with 23 touchdowns and six interceptions. Michigan quarterback JJ McCarthy threw for almost the same number of yards with 19 touchdowns and four interceptions.
