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.

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.

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."
