Alabama and Michigan players and coaches arrived at the Rose Bowl on Saturday, but no football was played.

The Crimson Tide and Wolverines enjoyed Media Day festivities ahead of the New Year’s Day matchup in the College Football Playoff semifinal.

For most players, it was time to cut loose, with teammates seated at circular tables filled with UNO cards, Jenga sets and playing cards to pass each hour in a hurry.

For head coaches Nick Saban and Jim Harbaugh, plus star players like Jalen Hurts, J.J. McCarthy, Dallas Turner and Blake Corum, it was all business, as they set up on small stages for extended individual press conferences to preview Monday’s in one of college football’s classic venues.
