Week 7 early look: High divisional stakes when Alabama visits Tennessee

Two preseason division favorites – both still in position to win their respective divisions – will meet Saturday in one of the SEC’s most historic rivalry games.

Division rivals like Texas A&M and Florida might interfere with these plans, but it’s still entirely possible the Crimson Tide and Volunteers will stage their first-ever rematch in Atlanta with an SEC title at stake.

Here’s an early look at that game, plus what else we’ll be watching this week in the SEC:
