October 21 — Tennessee @ Alabama

Alabama lost a ton of talent from their nearly undefeated 2016 team.

OJ Howard, Jonathan Allen, Reuben Foster, Ryan Anderson and Marlon Humphrey, among others, are all key players that won’t be taking the field for Nick Saban next season.

But don’t shed any tears for Bama. As usual, thanks to consistently strong recruiting, they will reload at each of those positions and once again be the team to beat in the SEC West.

The Vols will eventually beat Alabama again (They haven’t beat the Crimson Tide since 2006), but it’s not going to be this season in Tuscaloosa.

Prediction: Alabama wins (4-3)
