Alabama, the first team left out of the College Football Playoff, was favored by more than two touchdowns but was stymied on offense.

In the days since Alabama's stunning loss to Michigan in the ReliaQuest Bowl, several promising players have entered the NCAA transfer portal. On Friday, another one followed suit. According to Pete Nakos via Charlie Potter of On3 Sports,

Alabama had three turnovers in four plays at one point in the first quarter, in which Michigan gained possession inside the Crimson Tide 's 30-yard line each time. Crimson Tide quarterback Jalen Milroe threw an interception and fumbled twice in the first quarter, which ultimately was the difference on Tuesday.
