Ole Miss at Alabama, Sept. 19
The Rebels celebrated after handing Alabama its only regular-season loss last season. This year, they'll come to Tuscaloosa with a new quarterback as the Crimson Tide looks for revenge.
quote:
Alabama at Georgia, Oct. 3
It's a rematch of the 2012 SEC championship game, which ended with Mark Richt's Bulldogs 5 yards shy of the end zone in a 32-28 Alabama victory that sent the Crimson Tide on their way toward Nick Saban's third national title in Tuscaloosa.
quote:
Arkansas at Alabama, Oct. 10
Expecations are high this year in Fayetteville, where the Razorbacks nearly beat Alabama before falling 14-13 last year. This year, the Hogs will visit Derrick Henry and company at Bryant-Denny.
quote:
LSU at Alabama, Nov. 7
When these two teams meet up, it's usually a classic and last year was no exception as Alabama beat Leonard Fournette (7) and the Tigers 20-13 on DeAndrew White's overtime TD catch.
quote:
Alabama at Auburn, Nov. 28
The last time these two teams met in Jordan Hare, the game ended with an amazing Kick Six return of a missed field goal to give Auburn the win. Alabama got its revenge with a 55-44 win last year. The game decided the SEC West race each year, and could again in 2015.

Ben Davis, the fast and menacing 6-foot-3, 240-pound linebacker at the Gordo (Ala.), has more than 20 college offers.
Among his suitors are LSU, Georgia, Florida State, Miami and Notre Dame. But no one for a second believes he's leaving Alabama.
Of the 25 experts who predicted his choice of school through the 247Sports Crystal Ball, 25 believe he'll sign to Alabama in February. Davis, who is ranked the third best linebacker in the country and is the No. 19 recruit overall by 247Sports, will be at The Opening this week in Beaverton, Ore.
If Davis shocks most and doesn't pick the Crimson Tide, then he'll likely head to Alabama's other perennial power, Auburn. Don't count on that however. Davis' father Wayne was Alabama's career tackle leader before a short NFL career with the Rams.
Wayne was a legendary figure in the same town of Gordo (population 2,000), which is 30 minutes west of Tuscaloosa. He's told his son in no uncertain terms where to attend college.
"I made it clear with Ben than he needs to go to Alabama," Wayne told tide991.com. "I made it clear with Ben also that I want him to go around and look at other schools and make up his own mind."

A prospect that has moved from outside the Scout to the top 150 is lineman Raekwon Davis.
Did you catch that I called him a lineman? Where will he play on the next level? Is he a true defensive tackle? Could he be a first round NFL talent at offensive tackle? Only time will tell, but he is a four-star lineman — that much we know.
Davis is now the No. 133 prospect on and the No. 15 defensive tackle, a position that is loaded in 2016.
The 6-foot-7, 318 pound senior out of Meridian (Miss.) is committed to Alabama, but will he stay with the Crimson Tide? He has tripped to LSU, Ole Miss, and Mississippi State in the past week.
If there is a threat to UA, it may be the Bulldogs of MSU. Davis' teammate Daniel Crowell de-committed from Ole Miss over the weekend, and now MSU is the favorite to land him.
Davis a hot prospect, he is a versatile lineman, and he has Sunday-type upside. His stock is high with Scout right now, so keep an eye on his ranking and his recruitment.

Free Rivals' Content regarding Shawn Jennings' commitment to Alabama
quote:
Shawn Jennings, three-star safety from Dadeville High School in Ala., announced his commitment via Twitter on Tuesday night.
"It has always been one of my dream schools," Jennings said on Tuesday evening. "My brother is there. I love what Nick Saban does. The NFL basically looks at what he does. I know it will be best for my future if I go there."
"I told Coach Kirby (Smart) about my decision yesterday. He asked me if I was ready to roll with the Tide. It feels great to be committed. It's a big relief off of me. I am ready to start football again."
His older brother, Anfernee Jennings, is a former four-star defensive end who signed with Alabama in the 2015 class.
"He was happy," Jennings said. "He was glad. He is happy I was ready to start football and get this out of the way."
"It's all about the relationship I have with the coaches," Jennings said of Alabama. "It feels like home to me. It's a great school. Alabama recruited me the hardest. Kirby Smart keeps in touch with me all the time."
Jennings becomes commitment No.19 for Alabama. He joins a two other defensive backs in the Crimson Tide's class, Shyheim Carter, Rivals100 cornerback from Kentwood High School in La., and Joshua Perry, three-star safety from Amite High School in La. Jennings is recruited by Alabama to play safety or outside linebacker.
The 6-foot-2, 217-pound athlete stars on his high school team at quarterback and safety. He committed to Alabama instead of offers from Auburn and Memphis. He was recruited by Alabama defensive coordinator, Kirby Smart. He is ranked the No.36 safety in the country by Rivals.com.

With the initial Rivals100 for the class of 2017 out earlier than ever and college coaches offering numerous freshmen and even some middle schoolers, it has become clear that ranking prospects sooner has become the norm at Rivals.com.
So while this isn't a true ranking - no stars, no numbers - for the class of 2018, we thought it would be a good time to take a look at 18 players to keep an eye on for the 2018 class.
Some of these prospects will end up ranked as five-stars while some might not even be in the Rivals250 by the end of their ranking cycle. But, right now, they are worthy of being watched.

DT Taron Vincent
Baltimore (Md.) Gilman School
Scouting Report: Vincent's combination of size, quickness and strength make him a potentially dominant force in the middle of the defense. He uses leverage to his advantage and he has so much power in his lower body that offensive linemen can't help but get pushed backwards. As Vincent progresses he will have more effective hand techniques and be a little more in control.
Offers and Interest: There are two major connections that Vincent has to big-time college football programs. His father, Troy Vincent, was a star at Wisconsin and his brother, Troy Vincent Jr., currently plays for N.C. State. Outside of those connections, Vincent is set up well to be one of the most highly sought after defensive linemen in the 2018 class. Schools such as Alabama, Michigan, Ohio State, UCLA and many others have told Vincent he has a spot on their teams.
National Recruiting Director Mike Farrell's take: This is the big man in the family. His dad and brother both went on to college as defensive backs and Taron is already the size of a college defensive tackle as just a rising sophomore. He shows good balance for a young player, he plays with solid leverage and he is ahead of the curve when it comes to strength and size. Oh, and he's yet another son of a former big-time college player to dot this list.
The Class of 2018 is fricking loaded with legacy prospects.
