The 2016 Alabama football schedule is finalized. On balance, it's a little easier than last season's grind. Still, the slate does feature nine bowl teams and an FCS Playoff 2nd-round foe in UT-Chattanooga.
Off the schedule rotates the Georgia Bulldogs and the Tide welcome the Kentucky Wildcats. Two Sun Belt teams also fall off, as the Kent State Golden Flashes come to town. The biggest road blocks to a very big season come on the road: The Tide face the USC Trojans in Dallas to open the season, followed by Ole Miss, Arkansas, Tennessee, and LSU all on the road.
