A little bit of a surprise on a few of these, imo.

Below is Alabama’s full schedule and projected win probability, per the FPI:

August 31: vs. Duke (Atlanta): 96.3 percent win probability
September 7: New Mexico State: 99.7 percent
September 14: at South Carolina: 82.5 percent
September 21: Southern Miss: 98.3 percent
September 28: Ole Miss: 95.1 percent
October 12: at Texas A&M: 74.3 percent
October 19: Tennessee: 88.4 percent
October 26: Arkansas: 97.5 percent
November 9: LSU: 74.8 percent
November 16: at Mississippi State: 77.9 percent

Why not add that 0.1%?

What’s surprising about it? Seems about right to me.

All three are very good teams with talent to match. That’s not surprising at all.

Still think TAMU is going to be Bama's toughest game

That gives Bama a 20.3% chance of going 12-0 which is obviously too low considering they just did it last year and didn't have a game close by halftime outside of the mighty Citadel.

That being said that % is way too low if Tua plays all 12 games and way too high if he misses multiple games. So if you factor that in, I guess 20.3% is somewhat accurate. Although it's probably more like 38% if Tua plays every game (which is probably 75% likely) and 2% if he doesn't. Which puts it closer to 30% they go undefeated.

Also from FPI...

Chances of Winning the SEC:

47.0%- Alabama
24.8%- Georgia
12.3%- LSU
5.5%- Florida
2.4%- Texas A&M
2.1%- Auburn
2.0%- Missouri
1.7%- Tennessee
1.3%- Mississippi St.
0.8%- S. Carolina
0.2%- Kentucky

Vandy, Ole Miss, and Arky apparently have zero chance.

Surprised Mizzou isn’t higher.
Maybe even #3 or #4.

Given this is a home game, it seems they're pegging this to be the toughest on their schedule.

That Notre Dame/Georgia game should be a good one.

Yep, that's why he's been one of only 2 SEC coaches calling for 9 conference games and the only one calling for an all P5 schedule. He scared.

Seems about right to me given the LSU game is at home and the other 3 are on the road. If I was just ranking the games I think we are most likely to lose I'd go

1. @ Auburn
2. @ Texas A&M
3. LSU
4. @ Mississippi State
5. @ South Carolina

So, this is basically in line with that.
