Opening Act: Florida State Showdown
The season kicks off with a bang on August 30, as the Tide travels to Tallahassee to face Florida State. This inter-conference clash between two historical powerhouses sets the tone for what promises to be an electrifying season.
Notable Highlights:

The addition of Oklahoma to the schedule represents the new SEC era, while maintaining traditional rivalries like Tennessee, LSU, and Auburn demonstrates the conference’s commitment to preserving its storied history.
