The Alabama Crimson Tide are 12-1 and are ranked fifth in the nation. Coached by legendary HC Nick Saban, the Tide are hoping to cash in on their good form which saw them win 11 games in a row.

Unfortunately for ‘Bama’s fans, their opponents in the 2024 Rose Bowl have been even more impressive – the Michigan Wolverines have won every single game in more than a year.

Crimson Tide Is Back in the CFP After One-Year Hiatus

The Alabama Crimson Tide defeated the Georgia Bulldogs in the 2023 SEC Championship Game, ahead of which the Bulldogs were the No. 1 ranked college football team in the nation. Georgia entered the game as a six-point favorite, but Alabama ended up winning by three points.

Fast-forward to January 1 and the Crimson Tide are taking on the new No. 1 NCAAF team. Can they stage another upset? The 2024 Rose Bowl odds aren’t in their favor, but their confidence seems to be high.

All of their key men are in top shape, most notably, their quarterback Jalen Milroe, who’s turning into a real superstar of college football. He’s one of the best NCAAF QBs, but is he good enough to outsmart the nation’s best defense?

Wolverines to Prove They’re the Best

The Michigan Wolverines are the highest-ranked team in college football at the moment. They went 13-0 in the regular season, beating a couple of ranked teams along the way.

In their most recent game – the 2023 Big Ten Championship Game – the Wolverines beat the #20 Iowa Hawkeyes 26-0. Before that, they beat the #7 Ohio State Buckeyes 30-24.

The Wolverines are the nation’s 12^th-best offense in the league with a PPG of 36.7. Their quarterback JJ McCarthy has been sensational, especially in big games. Still, Michigan’s strongest weapon this season has been its defensive team.

With just 9.5 points conceded per game, the Wolverines are the best defense in the 2023-24 college football season.

Alabama’s offense is great, but even Milroe & Co. cannot do much against Michigan’s defense. The Wolverines haven’t conceded more than 30 points in more than a year, and we doubt the Crimson Tide will change that.

Instead, we think Michigan will keep them to just a touchdown or two. But what about the other way around? We think the Wolverines’ offensive team will do a fine job on January 1. As a result, Jim Harbaugh’s men should win the 2024 Rose Bowl, covering the spread along the way.

Pick: Michigan Wolverines -1.5

In this Georgia vs. Alabama preview, we’re going to explain why that’s the case. We’re also going to examine whether bookies are right to think of the Bulldogs as the favorites.

Georgia Bulldogs Going for Their 30^th Straight Win

The No. 1 ranked team in the 2023 NCAAF is 12-0 this season, but their impressive run goes beyond this season. This team is on a 29-game winning streak, which started after the loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide in the 2021 SEC Championship game.

The Bulldogs got their revenge for that loss last year. They destroyed the Crimson Tide 33-18 in January 2022 in the CFB Playoff National Championship. Their defense was brilliant in that game, scoring two pick six TDs.

Their defense is at least as equally amazing in the 2023 NCAAF season. With 16.5 points conceded per game, they’re the 8^th-best team in the nation.

Georgia’s offense is 8^th in the nation, with 38.8 points per game. Quarterback Carson Beck has been doing alright in his first NCAAF season as a starter, throwing for 22 TDs in 12 games. The Bulldogs’ offense has also been dangerous running the ball, with running backs Daijun Edwards and Kendall Milton recording double-figure rushing TDs.

Alabama Crimson Tide

Alabama’s sophomore Jalen Milroe is in good shape right now, completing more than 65% of his passes in the last three games. In those games, we also saw him throw for eight TDs in total.
