While realignment may change some things, starting in 2022 Alabama plays exclusively home and home games against 1-2 power 5 opponents. The era of playing a big power 5 opener in Atlanta or Dallas has come to a close.
- Alabama went 11-0 in neutral site openers between 2008 and 2021
- Alabama won all 11 games by double digits
- Alabama's average margin of victory was 26 points
- The only games that had a MOV of less than 3 scores were 2009 Virginia Tech and 2014 West Virginia (10 pts each)

Never got that shite anyway unless it’s a rivalry tradition

Why is it closed George?

It's not closed for us.. I think we open with UNC in Charlotte next year, or 2023.

I like the home-home matchups so much more.

2018-2019 really killed them for me. What is the point in sacrificing a home game to play a team like Duke or Louisville at a neutral site?

Wow! That home and home thing is a great idea you guys came up with. Maybe others will follow.

Should we start a new thread about how Ole Miss fans never show up to this game?

I hate neutral site openers

I think that is awesome. Personally I would be much more excited to make a weekend of it in Fayetteville rather than Arlington. Went see Ags at Arky and we had a great time. Super game day experience with Hog fans.
If I want a shitty game day experience I can buy tickets to an NFL game.

I really enjoyed the neutral site games at first but they've gotten a little stale at this point. I'm pumped for the home and homes and the opportunity to see Alabama (and other) teams play in big time stadiums around the country.

Don't know why ADs keep signing up their teams to get embarrassed on national TV.

10 points is less than 2 scores so there is a single scoring play in College Football worth 10 points?

Another statistic the ACC is 1-12 in these Chick fil a kickoff games so far

On a side note, that was amazing that USC ended up at #3 after the arse-whipping game 1. They actually turned out to be a decent team that year.

Yada yada yada.
