Alabama is set to face Florida State in the first game of the season, and head coach Nick Saban actually expects his squad to be the underdog.
"Florida State has a great team and a great program and will probably be No. 1 in the country," Saban said, per Matt Baker of the Tampa Bay Times.
The teams will play Sept. 2 in Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
Florida State went 10-3 last season but return starting quarterback Deondre Francois as well as a lot of talent on the defensive end.
