Well, Alabama gets some great season openers over the next few years, to say the least.
The team has its next two opening games at Dallas’ AT&T Stadium, facing Wisconsin and USC respectively, and then opens against Florida State in Atlanta in 2017. Whereas most top programs open their seasons with tuneup games, Alabama is instead getting seemingly thrown to the wolves to start things off.
