They play almost all of their tough games outside Alabama: Clemson in Atlanta, at Arkansas and Georgia back to back, at Tennessee and at LSU. Most of their home games are against teams they could be expected to beat on the road bringing only half their team: Tulane, Western Kentucky, Arkansas State, and Kentucky. Ol Miss may give them a fight if their new hotshot QB pans out.

Bama plays Miss State at home, but there could be a surprise there if the Tide is looking ahead to Auburn (a team they haven’t beaten in six seasons).

Alabama’s schedule is a lot like Georgia’s, except Alabama doesn’t have Georgia’s talent.
