Alabama football is now in California for the iconic Rose Bowl Game.
The Crimson Tide battles Michigan on New Year’s Day for an opportunity to play in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game on Monday, Jan. 8, 2024, in Houston, Texas. Alabama players were greeted with roses upon coming to the West Coast. The Tide played Notre Dame in the Rose Bowl in the 2020 season; however, the matchup was in AT&T Stadium because the Coronavirus pandemic shut down California. Alabama earned a 31-14 victory over the Fighting Irish.
