Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh's voice rang out at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California after Michigan earned a hard fought victory over Alabama in the College Football Playoffs semifinals.

Safety Adrian Phillips also spoke out about the final play.
Now it's time to see whether Texas or Washington will be joining them in the championship game.
