Bama plays on the road at USF this year. I actually applaud that.

They're Bama. They don't have to play any road games for any mid major. They have nothing to gain from such a thing, except maybe getting recruiting eyes in South Florida, which realistically I'm sure this is what it's about, but they recruit nationally already. They could just as easily schedule home rent a wins and a neutral site kickoff with some other P5 team and call it a day. They actually scheduled it to go on the road first and then get 2 return trips down the line. So they were willing to go there first in the series too which is a bonus.

I actually think it's cool to have a major player in the sport go visit these other smaller campuses. You know that game is going to be the biggest seller on USF's schedule. I love college football on campuses and miss true home and homes even if it's with a perceived lesser school. Good on Bama for doing this, I wish more schools would do true home and homes with P5s and these 2 for 1s with mid majors instead of the neutral site kickoffs at NFL sites. CFB should be played on campuses.
