After a spectacular weekend of College Football, the Playoffs are set. Alabama was stunning as they beat Georgia. After Georgia fell 27-24 to the Crimson Tide, they were not selected as one of the 4 best teams in America. Number 2 Washington will face off against number3 Texas. First, the Mazie and Blue have to get past a Nick Saban led Crimson Tide squad. Will Michigan beat Alabama?

Michigan is coming off another dominant season, winning 13 straight games and capturing their 45th Big Ten Championship. After beating Penn State, Ohio State, and winning the title game for the third straight year, Michigan is ready for the national title. Michigan has made the playoffs for the three consecutive years now, losing each of the past two.

Previously, Michigan fell to Georgia in 2021 and TCU in 2022. This is the Michigan team to do it. This is the Michigan squad to win the national title. While previous teams may have been more star studded, or better equipped to dominate the run game. The 2023 team has the best chance to win the National Title yet. First, we must ask will Michigan beat Alabama, though?

Will Michigan Beat Alabama?

While past teams have had some better stars, the 2023 Michigan Wolverines have a more well-rounded defense. The secondary and defensive line have never been more lethal. I truly believe this Michigan team is capable of beating Alabama and beating either Washington or Texas in the National Title Game.

This year, Michigan is both a top 5 Rushing Defense and Passing Defense. While Alabama is ranked outside he top 20 in both. While Michigan hasn't had a spectacular year in terms of running the football, this team finds ways to beat you. If they play up to their ability, will Michigan beat Alabama? I say yes.

Now, JJ McCarthy is a matured leader on this team and has what it takes to lead this team to the top. Many people are asking if Michigan will beat Alabama. I think Alabama is the best team left, and if Michigan can stay consistent, they will be in the National Title Game this year. I believe Michigan will defeat Alabama in epic fashion. With any luck, they just might win the title!

The 5 Greatest Stadiums In College Football

There's nothing like college football. From tailgating to the nail biting finish, it's always a great time. What makes it so great? It has to be the atmosphere of an NCAA game. You're on campus surrounded by the most loyal fans imaginable. No matter what college you're at, or previously attended, it's always special. However, some are more special than others. We ranked the 5 greatest stadiums in college football.

Doing this wasn't easy. Do you know how many amazing stadiums there are in the country? Truly countless! So, you best believe these 5 all have something very unique about them.

Best Stadiums For College Football

First off, I want to be clear that the results are completely bias free. Okay, maybe almost completely bias free. I can't promise that some of my personal opinions didn't shape the rankings. They probably did, to an extent. You should know, I graduated from Michigan State University. I am a proud Spartan. However, Spartan Stadium didn't make this list. See? I didn't let my biases influence the results.

That's not to say Spartan Stadium isn't worthy of being on the list. I had some crazy times in the student section there. Spartans show up to support their team. They have hilarious chants and MSU has one of the most beautiful campuses in the entire country. Spartan Stadium is beautiful and sits on the Red Cedar River. It's incredibly scenic. Yet, it wasn't enough to make this list of the greatest stadiums in college football.

In fact, some other iconic stadiums didn't make the cut, either. The iconic blue turf at Boise State's Albertsons Stadium won't be found on the list. Beaver Stadium has history and legacy, but also isn't on this list. So, if your school's stadium didn't make the list please don't take it personally. Unless you're an Ohio State fan. There's no way the Shoe was going to make the list. Excuse me, *the* Shoe. Let's get to the list!

Rose Bowl Stadium - UCLA

You can't talk about iconic stadiums and not mention Rose Bowl Stadium. It's basically the epitome of iconic stadiums. Then, you add the mountain backdrop and it really can't get much better than that. Personally, I've never been but it's high up on my bucket list.

Tiger Stadium - Louisiana State University

Tigers may hate cinnamon, but they love football. LSU's Tiger Stadium is one of the best environments in all of college football. That place gets loud! No team wants to come into Death Valley. I mean, certainly they call it that for a reason, right?

Neyland Stadium - University of Tennessee

There's something about Neyland Stadium that stands out and separates from the pack. Maybe it's the checkered end zone. Perhaps it's the crowd in their orange and white. The music? So much to like about games at Tennessee. Whenever I see one of their night games on TV, I can't lie I get a little jealous. Good for those students who get to enjoy game days there.

Kinnick Stadium - University of Iowa

It's Iowa, how exciting can it be? I understand that perspective. However, what makes Kinnick one of the best stadiums in the country has nothing to do with their field or play. I love how the children's hospital overlooks the field. What an amazing thought. It gives the kids an opportunity to watch the games, and that can mean everything. I think it could be one of my favorite traditions in all of sports.

Every game, at the end of the first quarter, the filled stadium and sidelines turn their attention to UI Stead Family Children's Hospital and wave to the children. Watch it sometime. It will melt your heart...and I say that as a fan of another Big Ten school. Good on you, Iowa!

Michigan Stadium - University of Michigan

You had to have seen this coming, right? I'm a proud Spartan and even I can't deny the greatest that is The Big House. Not only is it the largest stadium in the United States (and entire Western Hemisphere), it's the third-largest stadium in all of the world! It's truly a sight to behold.

Do you think Michigan will pull it off? Let us know in the comments!
