Alabama has been scheduling at least one pretty good OOC opponent just about every year with Saban. This is one of the few years where none of the OOC opponents really jump out at you.
If I was an Alabama season ticket holder, there would be no way to describe the 2019 schedule as anything other than a dumpster fire. Alabama 2019 home games: New Mexico State (3-9 2018), Southern Miss (6-5 2018), Ole Miss (1-7 SEC 2018), Tennessee (2-6 SEC 2018), Arkansas (0-8 SEC 2018), LSU (I would love to go to this one!), Western Carolina (3-8 2018). It is tough to justify season tickets with one good game.
