I took a look at Alabama's schedule, this year, and they certainly are not trying to stretch themselves any!
1 - Duke Blue Devils
2 - New Mexico State Aggies
3 - South Carolina Gamecocks
4 - Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles
5 - Ole Miss Rebels
6 - Texas A&M Aggies
7 - Tennessee Volunteers
8 - Arkansas Razorbacks
9 - LSU Tigers
10 - Mississippi State Bulldogs
11 - Western Carolina Catamounts
12 - Auburn Tigers
Auburn and LSU might give 'em a run ... and Mississippi State and Texas A&M might keep 'em honest for a quarter or two ... but, the rest of 'em are gonna be like practice scrimmages against junior high school teams.
'Bama should be well-rested and relatively injury-free right before the SEC Championship game.
