How to watch Alabama vs. Michigan: TV channel, live stream, Rose Bowl odds, College Football Playoff game

The two winningest programs in college football go head-to-head on Monday in a showdown so massive that only the sport’s most iconic setting could play host. No. 1 Michigan and No. 4 Alabama will meet up in the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day with the right to move on to the College Football Playoff National Championship on the line. 

What more can you reasonably ask in a high-stakes college football game? Well, how about the fact that both teams enter under some controversial circumstances. Alabama received the No. 4 seed ahead of a 13-0 ACC champion: No. 5 Florida State. The one-loss Crimson Tide were riding the strength of beating No. 6 Georgia the day prior in the SEC Championship Game, while the Seminoles were penalized for limping to an ACC title without starting quarterback Jordan Travis. 

Michigan, meanwhile, is 13-0, but coach Jim Harbaugh wasn’t on the sideline for six of those games due to two different three-game suspensions — one for recruiting violations and another for a sign-stealing scandal that captivated the nation for most of the season.

Whether you’re a college football traditionalist or somebody who prefers chaos, there’s something for everybody here.
