The Michigan Wolverines earned the top seed and will take on #4 seed Alabama in the Rose Bowl.
This will be the second consecutive season that the Huskies will play Texas in the postseason in what should be a Texas-friendly environment. Last year the two schools played in the Alamo Bowl which is only about a one-hour drive from Austin. Now they will match up in New Orleans which is about a seven-hour drive from the Texas campus.
