After an eventful and points-filled weekend in Destin, FL for the Emerald Coast Challenge where the now-23rd-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide (5-1) suffered its first loss of the season, Nate Oats’ squad now returns home to the comforts of Coleman Coliseum for the inaugural ACC-SEC Challenge. After a decade of incredible entertainment and success working in partnership with the Big 12 for the annual event in late January, television contracts changing unfortunately resulted in the demise of the iconic SEC-Big 12 Challenge. It also ended the long-running and original conference clash - the ACC-Big Ten Challenge. So, ESPN, simply decided to merge the two main properties they had left and voila - the ACC-SEC Challenge was born!
