Alabama fans are ready for the Rose Bowl against Michigan on New Year’s Day.
Taylor Lewan, a University of Michigan alumnus, shared on social media he believes the Wolverines will beat Alabama by ‘double digits’ and that Michigan has better coaching. Michigan, the Big Ten Champion, enters the College Football Playoff as the No. 1 seed. Alabama, the SEC Champion, is in the CFP as the No. 4 seed. Nick Saban is looking for his seventh national title as the Crimson Tide’s head coach. Alabama fans reacted on social media to Lewan’s comments as they feel the Tide is the better team.
I wasn’t aware a team’s HC being suspended for cheating qualified as “better coaching”. Sounds like poor leadership to me.
Saban & Harbaugh aren’t even in the same league. https://t.co/nZZbhrd9Tn

It’s not the 2010’s anymore…
Checks notes, Alabama has a natty in 2020, and played for another one. Meanwhile, checks notes… Michigan lost to UGA in the playoffs by a lot & lost to a TCU team that got beat by UGA by 876. (Also, Alabama has a win over Michigan in the 2020’s. https://t.co/n2lwXAqSIz
