Alabama Football Bowl History

In the upcoming Citrus Bowl, the Alabama Crimson Tide will face off against the Michigan Wolverines in a battle of two of the most successful programs in college football history. It's not what the Tide had in mind when they started the sason as a hot pick to win it all, as it's worth noting that this marks the first time since the College Football Playoff was introduced in 2014 that Bama will not be taking any part in it.

That said, to suggest that this progam has a rich, prolific bowl game history is the understatement of the century -- in fact, it goes back almost a full century.
