Big Ten 'fans' back Nick Saban's Crimson Tide over their own Michigan: "I don't root for cheaters. I hope Bama blows them out in the first half"

The Alabama Crimson Tide will be up against the Michigan Wolverines in the Rose Bowl. The winner of the game will have a shot at winning the national championship title for this season.

The game can also be seen as a clash between the SEC and the Big Ten conference. But who is the Big Ten fanbase minus Michigan supporting?

A fan had the same question and they took to X to satiate their curiosity. What they found out was that the Big 10 fans are backing Nick Saban's Alabama over Michigan from their own conference. Everybody had their reasons but some of them popped up more than the others.

The Michigan vs Alabama clash: Will Nick Saban be able to stop Jim Harbaugh's winning machine?

Nick Saban's Alabama somehow managed to reach the playoffs even after struggling as an offense for a large part of the regular season. They managed to grind out the results and as time went by, perfected their offense.

And then, they pulled off a stunning win against the then-No.1 ranked Georgia Bulldogs to clinch the SEC title. Michigan, on the other hand, had no such problems.

The Wolverines finished the regular season with a perfect record. None of their opponents could manage to get over the line against them. After a 12-0 regular season record, they got past the Iowa Hawkeyes to win the Big Ten.

However, the shadow of the sign-stealing scandal has turned the whole conference against them.

Can Nick Saban pull another rabbit out of his hat to stop the Wolverines in their tracks? He has the support of a section of the Big Ten fan base to do that.
