Fan vote has Michigan with second-best odds at beating Alabama
Published:
No. 1 Alabama is the team to beat.
Everyone knows it. If anything proved that, the Crimson Tide were two touchdown favorites over No. 3 LSU.
What did Alabama do?
Beat the Tigers 29-0. Again, it’s Alabama’s world and we’re all just living in it.
SportsCenter had a poll put out on Twitter earlier this week and they asked the question, who has the best shot at beating the Crimson Tide?
Clemson, Georgia, Michigan and Notre Dame were the options. In the end, the Wolverines got a good chunk of the vote:

The results:
Clemson — 49%
Michigan — 22%
Georgia — 17%
Notre Dame — 12%
People think Clemson have the best shot at beating Alabama — this poll shows it. But Michigan beats out any other team according to the general public.
What is somewhat interesting is that in Week 1, Notre Dame dominated Michigan at the line of scrimmage and defeated the Wolverines. Yet, as of Nov. 6, the Wolverines are getting more love than any other team outside of Clemson (and Alabama, of course).
Michigan is set to travel to Rutgers on Saturday.
