I know that it's still March, and in the future, I might write another one—except with different opinions. It's just that I cannot wait for the season to start, so this is kind of a really early breakdown of the schedule. I will give the team, date of the game, and the difficulty level of the game based on a 1-10 scale.

Virginia Tech/Sept. 5/Level of Difficulty: 8

Alabama kicks off the year in the Georgia Dome for the second year in a row, only this time against Virginia Tech. I put this at eight on the difficulty scale, because it is always hard to start the season off against a strong opponent such as Virginia Tech.

Virginia Tech has Tyrod Taylor who is an excellent quarterback and has been compared to Michael Vick. If Alabama wants to win this game, they need to step up from the get go with their defense. I am not worried because Nick Saban knows his defense and will find a way to stop Taylor.

Florida International/Sept. 12/Level of Difficulty: 3
