Alabama Football Schedule What To Know: Who do the Crimson Tide miss from the SEC West slate?
What do you give the program that has everything? How about a schedule against the SEC East that doesn’t include Georgia, or Florida, and even a dangerous Kentucky?
Alabama also misses South Carolina and Missouri, ad that means it gets the nicest gift possible – home against Vanderbilt.
However, its annual date with Tennessee is on the road, and that’s coming off the showdown against Texas A&M.

Alabama Football Schedule What To Know: What does it all really mean?

As always in the SEC, it’s about how many body blows can a team take before they all add up into a tough loss?
Throw in the Mike Leach Mississippi State attack and the regular season finale against Auburn, and again, Alabama has to go to work.
