Reliaquest Bowl for Bama and Michigan

Yeah, all the SEC matchups outside of the 12 team bracket are pretty lame to me. The South Carolina vs. Illinois looks OK, but the others are basically yawners for me.
I hope the players that choose to play for Alabama in the bowl game have a more excited reaction than I did in hearing the matchup against Michigan. If the team is as indifferent as I currently feel about that game, Bama will lose.
It has also been discussed ad naseum, but the automatic byes reserved only for conference champions also creates some dumb dynamics in the 12 team playoff. The format definitely needs to be updated.

What bowl is Auburn playing in?
RTR! Can't wait to see it! One of my co-workers is a Michigan fan.
The only reason I want us too play is for the reps, players returning next year will get valuable practice time & game reps, I'm hoping LANK isn't one of those players hogging 1st team reps from our younger players that should be our future starters next season..
I'm not one for boycotting games, but I would give Bama a pass if they turned this one down. I would be more enthusiastic if they gave us the Citrus Bowl vs Illinois and gave South Carolina the Reliaquest with Michigan. Why yet ANOTHER Bama vs Michigan game? What is SO intriguing about that matchup? The media will grasp at straws and say that Bama can avenge them beating Saban in the final game of his career, but that's about ALL they can say. We have drawn them enough over the years to officially call it tiresome. I won't be watching

The Windex Transparency Bowl. So good, you will never see them.
What the heck is the Reliaquest bowl anyways. What did it used to be/where is it.
I guess we can get revenge on Michigan if we show up, but the committee is definitely kicking us while they can, putting SMU in the playoff and pairing us with a 7-5 team. Shows that they think we are trash.

Maybe they didn’t want a repeat of Georgia vs FSU. Except, I couldn’t tell you which one would be a Georgia and which one would be FSU.
Outback Bowl - Tampa
This is not getting revenge on anyone. 2 different teams and coaches in a meaningless game.
Sure. I’m thinking more head to head historic records.
If we wanted to play in a meaningful game we should not have lost to 2 6-loss teams, simple as that. Worst bama football team in about 2 decades.
The bowls are really meaningless now. Anything other than the playoff is seen as a participation trophy. I hope we don't have any opt outs, but with the attitude displayed by some this year we may be disappointed. The lack of discipline this team has shown at times may be a sign of other problems.
Clemson vs Texas for the first time ever and Tennessee's first ever trip to Columbus could be interesting. SMU-Penn State and a "renewed in state rivalry" between Notre Dame and Indiana are just...meh
I think that was intentional............had to kiss up to the ACC for their percieved butthurt last year
Bowl games are not meaningless. I hate the way so many people dismiss such a grand tradition in CFB because ESPN has made it all about the CFP invitational.
