Alabama projected starting lineup and depth chart for ReliaQuest Bowl | 2024-25 College football season

College football titans collide as No. 11 Alabama takes on Michigan in the ReliaQuest Bowl at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. The game starts on Tuesday, December 31, 2024, at noon ET on ESPN. Alabama enters as a dominant -15 favorite, with an over/under of 44.5.

Alabama was controversially snubbed out of the 12-team playoff field and will aim to end the season on a high by beating defending champions Michigan Wolverines. Both programs are run by new coaches as Kalen DeBoer succeeded Nick Saban in Tuscaloosa while Sherrone Moore succeeded Jim Harbaugh.

Let's take a look at Alabama's projected starting lineup and depth chart for the ReliaQuest Bowl,
