No. 13 Alabama will make their first non-playoff bowl appearance of the post BCS era, as they take on No. 14 Michigan in a battle between two of the most iconic programs in College Football history.

How to Live Stream Alabama vs Michigan

This game will start at 1 p.m ET on ABC, with live streams available via WatchESPN and the Reddit College Football Streams subreddit.

The Tide roll into this one with a couple of key players inactive: DE Terrell Lewis and DB Trevon Diggs, as they prepare for the upcoming NFL Draft this spring. Even with two of the team's heavier hitters on the sideline for this contest, expect Bama to play this one with the same grit and determination that we have come to expect from every Nick Saban led team.

For the Wolverines, a victory will only be attainable if QB Shea Patterson plays like the best quarterback on the field. With inexperienced Mac Jones expected to start for the Crimson Tide, Michigan's defense should look to overwhelm him with various blitz packages and disguised overages. If the defense does their part and Patterson plays decently in this match up, Michigan may very well prevail.

With two of the best coaches in college football leading their teams into battle, expect a tremendously competitive contest between these two powerhouses.
