It is game week for the University of Alabama football program.
After a weird offseason, due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the Crimson Tide will open its season on the road versus the Missouri Tigers for its conference-only schedule. On Sunday, the Associated Press updated its Top 25 poll for college football and the Tide remains at No. 2 behind the Clemson Tigers. Despite the Big Ten deciding to start its season on Oct. 24, Alabama stays at No. 2 and is ready for a stellar year.
For Nick Saban, he is after national championship No. 7 in his tenure.
