PASADENA, Calif. — Top-seeded Michigan will face Alabama in the College Football Playoff semifinal to be played as the 110th edition of the Rose Bowl Game. When the lineup for the final four-team playoff was announced, the unbeaten Wolverines ended up booking another bowl appearance in the Southern California sun against the Crimson Tide. Jim Harbaugh's team will make a long-anticipated return to Pasadena, its home for so many New Year's Days in the past. The Wolverines will be playing in their 21st Rose Bowl, more than any school except USC, but Michigan hasn't been to the Granddaddy of Them All since 2007.
