ICYMI: Mark Your Calendars For 2016 Birmingham Bowl!
Alabama has added The Citadel to the 2018 schedule. The matchup will be played November 17, and will serve as the warm-up for the Iron Bowl the next week.
Many fans are angry because they don’t like seeing “cupcake” teams on the calendar. Some do not see these games as serving a purpose, and would rather Bama schedule a more highly-touted team to boost the strength-of-schedule component for national rankings.
The only problem with this is that Alabama already has the toughest list of matchups in the country.
