Alabama officially knows its destiny for the 2019 post season. According to college football insider Brett McMurphy, the Crimson Tide will take on John Harbaugh and Michigan in the Citrus Bowl.
McMurphy made the announcement via Twitter on Sunday during the College Football Playoff Selection Show on ESPN:
Alabama-Michigan will play in Citrus Bowl, sources told @Stadium. Hopefully bowl contract requires both head coaches to ride tea cups together at Disney World

It was a little surprising to see Alabama slide yet another spot to No. 13 in the College Football Playoff rankings, but it will give the Crimson Tide a chance to go head-to-head against a respectable Michigan team with former Ole Miss quarterback Shea Patterson.
The game will take place on New Years Day at 12:00 a.m. CT on ABC in Orlando, Florida.
