Alabama has been lucky all year and it ran out tonight!
As a Georgia fan, THANK YOU Michigan!

[caliph]

Thank you Michigan no SEC in the title game.

[mburles]

Crazy both Harbaugh’s are #1 in their respective leagues

As a Niners fan, we out here rooting hard for Jim from the Bay! ❤ ❤

I am so happy. This one sticks it to ESPN and the committee by not being able to see their favorite team win. No SEC team in the championship game this year!

Credit to Josiah Stewart for pushing the tackle into Milroy in the backfield and blowing up the play.

Bama still shouldn't have been there in the first place. And finebaums reasoning sums up the nonsense of it all. Why should Bama be in? "It would be so wrong to not have an SEC team in." Oh, I missed that requirement for the committee: must to have an SEC team in all playoffs. I've always been an SEC guy, but I'll still call out brainless bias when I see it.

[WOW-liuj]

Makes me proud! Two great teams! The right one won!

The officials ate that whistle all night. It was nice to see that for a change.

[slydEvil]

What an awesome game. The jubilation of those young men after the stop is what sports is all about. Just pure joy.

[SoutheastBeast]

KIRK SO MAD ALABAMA DIDNT HAVE THE REFEREES ON THEIR SIDE 😂😂😂😂

[akaBrilliant]

FINALLY Michigan had the BIG DOGS on the line if scrimmage to truly out muscle an SEC team like Alabama.... EPIC MICHIGAN WIN 💪🏾💪🏾

[perfectgogeta]

A loss for Alabama is a win for America!!! FSU should have been there instead.

[Jeremy-dyzv]

Michigan fan here. FSU this win was for you!

In the fifth quarter of the 1st OT in the Rose Bowl, the Michigan Wolverines defense came up with a defensive stand.

Karma. Michigan went undefeated and Alabama didn’t. Michigan won because they did in fact come in the better team and many people still took 12 and 1 Alabama to win just because it’s so called “mighty Alabama”. I’m so glad Alabama lost because high school football seniors not even from Alabama always choose Alabama because they think they’re guaranteed to win the national championship. Nope that’s not how it works. The better team always wins. You still actually have to play, not just think well I play for Alabama so I’ll win anyway. That’s not how to win.

FACT:
Michigan is now 3-2 all time in bowl games against Alabama and in all 3 wins, they came from behind and won .
In the 1984 bowl game, Michigan scored on a bomb in the last minute to win 28-24.
In the last game Tom Brady played, Michigan rallied twice from 14 down to win in OT.
In this game, Michigan rallied to tie the game and again won in OT .
Michigan in all 3 wins had their QBs-Demetrius Brown, Brady and JJ McCarthy who lit up their secondaries for big plays.
SEC speec huh?

I’m so glad Alabama lost. Trash, bought off, selection committee.

[brandoncasey]
