Then you will like Alabama/Unbelievably Spoiled Children the first week of the season.

You're right I will! Although I do think that early season OOC games are not as good as postseason when teams are more locked in. The other issue with OOC games is that they are scheduled so far in advance that it could have turned into a of exceedingly large proportions mismatch by the time they are played.

Or if they're not going to be as big of a mismatch as one team wanted, they can back out, like Georgia did with Oregon not too long ago.

Alabama-Unbelievably Spoiled Children is not a great matchup for the Pac-12, I don't think. Both schools will have new QBs, but that matters more for Unbelievably Spoiled Children than Alabama. Alabama will also probably have a better defense. But it sure would be nice to knock the SEC homers down about 5 pegs with a Unbelievably Spoiled Children win.

Hard to believe that there exists a situation in which one could really contemplate rooting for Unbelievably Spoiled Children.  Just sayin'.  Not criticizing.

This will be the first time in my life I root for the Trojans.  There is a story that, a few years ago ( maybe 50?) USC went into Tuscaloosa and whipped them.  Bear Bryant said later that that game did more to integrate th University of Alabama than anything else.
