The first road game of the season should actually be a cakewalk for the Crimson Tide as South Florida has been one of the worst teams in the Group of Five. The Bulls haven’t won more than four games in a single season since 2018 and they’re fresh off a 1-11 season under Jeff Scott.

Now the Bulls are under new leadership as Scott is gone and Alex Golesh has taken over after being a successful assistant at Tennessee.

Alabama wins this one with ease.

Prediction: Win (3-0)

Lane Kiffin has turned Ole Miss around after the Matt Luke era and it feels like the Rebels are dangerously close to becoming serious SEC title threats.

Will that happen this year?

Well, let’s just say the Rebels aren’t going to win in Tuscaloosa this year. They will put up a fight but Alabama is going to pull away in the second half.

Jaxson Dart is a solid quarterback but Jalen Milroe will out-duel him in this one.

Prediction: Win (4-0, 1-0 SEC)
