Alabama Football's Revised 2020 Conference-Only Schedule Released By SEC
You knew the opponents, now you know the locations and dates.
On Monday night, the SEC revealed its full revised, 10-game, conference-only football schedule for the 2020 season on SEC Now on the league's television network.
For the University of Alabama, the Crimson Tide will kick things off in Columbia, MI. against the Missouri Tigers, then will open the home schedule, at Bryant-Denny Stadium, up on Oct. 3 against Texas A&M.
Oct. 10 will see Alabama take a road trip to Oxford to face the Rebels of Ole Miss before a highly-anticipated meeting between Georgia and the Crimson Tide on Oct. 17.
The annual 'Third Saturday in October' meeting between Tennessee and Alabama will take place in Knoxville on Oct. 24. In a normal year, the Crimson Tide would get a bye week during Halloween weekend, but instead, will welcome the Mississippi State Bulldogs to Tuscaloosa on Oct. 31.
That just happens to be Nick Saban's birthday.
Alabama's bye week will come the weekend of Nov. 7, before the Crimson Tide travels to Baton Rouge for a grudge match against the defending national champion, LSU Tigers, on Nov. 14.
During the final two weekends in November, the Crimson Tide will have back-to-back home contests, first against Kentucky on Nov. 21, then the Iron Bowl showdown with Auburn on Nov. 28.
Alabama will finish the regular season with a trip to Fayetteville on Dec. 5 to clash with the Arkansas Razorbacks.
As for playing a 10-game SEC-only schedule, Saban has no problem with it:
"I’ve been a guy that’s been wanting to play 10 SEC games for a long time, so this year we get to do that," he said during his press conference Monday. "I think it’s good for our players who get the opportunity to create value against 10 really quality opponents in our league. And I think it’s going to be very challenging because it’s going to be every week, you’re going to have a very, very good opponent. But I think it’s good for the fans. Hopefully, it will create a lot of interest, and I’m pleased with it.
"I looked at this schedule, and I think they did it as fairly as possible."
The 11-week regular season will culminate on Dec. 19 in Atlanta at Mercedes-Benz Stadium for the conference's championship game.
