2024 Rose Bowl semifinal · Michigan 27, Alabama 20 (OT)

Alabama trailed 27-20 in overtime, faced fourth-and-goal from the three, and Jalen Milroe was stopped short on a quarterback-power that the entire stadium expected and the Michigan defense had practiced for. Saban announced his retirement seven days later. The Process era — six national titles, eight Playoff appearances, the most consequential coaching tenure in college football since Bear Bryant — ended on one yard. Michigan would finish the title run a week later in Houston. Alabama would hire DeBoer the following week.
