When Kentucky and Alabama face other on Oct. 1 -- the first time they will meet since 2013 -- it will be one of two cross-division rotational games for the Tide in 2016.
USC will prove to be a tough opponent for the Tide this fall, but how do the Trojans compare to the other non-conference opponents Alabama has faced in the last five years?
Some stadiums have rowdiness, but a general lack of fan understanding of the game, so the intensity is misplaced, usually directed at the officials. Think Mississippi State.
There are a few places where fans are out of control mean, even before the game, notably Georgia and Auburn.
As for stadiums where the fans are most enthusiastic regardless of the chances of success by their teams against Alabama, I would say the top three are South Carolina, Texas A&M, and Tennessee.
But the toughest places to play are where the toughest teams await.
This one is a fun offseason article that's entire premise is calling a bleacher report list dumb. The author mostly talks about how we assume that the loudest stadiums give the most advantage, but in all reality, the good teams are what made the stadium loud.
And yes, Auburn fans are mean. I went for one Iron Bowl back in the Shula years, and vowed never to return to that Godforsaken stadium.
