While the ReliaQuest Bowl may not be the final game of the season that either the Alabama Crimson Tide or Michigan Wolverines had hoped for, the two schools will bring an epic New Year's Eve showdown outside of the College Football Playoff.

Alabama was on the outside looking in of the CFP field after the committee decided to give SMU the final at-large bid in the inaugural 12-team field. The Crimson Tide's consolation prize is a trip to the ReliaQuest Bowl in Tampa, Florida where they get to meet the Michigan Wolverines for a rematch of last season's CFP semifinal in the Rose Bowl game.

Michigan won that battle for a trip to the national championship game where the Wolverines finished the job against the Washington Huskies.

Now, coming off a disappointing 7-5 year but with a big victory against bitter rival Ohio State in their final game, the Wolverines get to finish their season against No. 11-ranked Alabama (9-3).

The ReliaQuest Bowl between Michigan and Alabama kicks off a long day of New Year's Eve bowl action. Michigan and Alabama kick off at 12 p.m. ET at Raymond James Stadium, while the night is eventually capped off by the first game in the CFP quarterfinals between Boise State and Penn State at 7:30 p.m. ET.

As one of the jewels of bowl season outside of the CFP, what does it cost to see Michigan and Alabama battle in the Sunshine State?
