Interesting.

Alabama

Buzz: If USC features one of the toughest opening months of the season, Alabama shouldn’t be that far behind the Trojans. Three of the Crimson Tide’s four opponents in September qualified for postseason bowls with two of those teams finishing 2015 ranked (WKU, Ole Miss). If Alabama is going to win its third consecutive SEC title, it will need to do so on the road with showdowns with Ole Miss, Arkansas, Tennessee and LSU.

Toughest games: vs. USC (S3), Western Kentucky (S10), at Ole Miss (S17), at Arkansas (O8), at Tennessee (O15), at LSU (N5), Auburn (N26).

Ohio State

Buzz: Ohio State is 50-4 under Urban Meyer during the past four seasons but the Buckeyes face perhaps their biggest challenge with just six returning starters back from 2015. What Meyer’s team lacks in experience they make up in with talent – something the group will lean on early on with tough games in September including a road showdown with Oklahoma. The good news is Ohio State is 18-0 on the road under Meyer and 11-0 against teams from the Group of 5 conferences.

Toughest games: Bowling Green (S3), Tulsa (S10), at Oklahoma (S17), at Wisconsin (O15), at Penn State (O22), at Michigan State (N19), Michigan (N26).
