Predictable? It was a jest, but as with most jests there was some truth to it.
Why?
Because they take 2 weeks to prepare for us (and Indiana and Michigan were already playing someone else). We will drop that game and replace it with a conference foe if Lord Saban gets his wish.

True nonconference road games prove hazardous to College Football Playoff hopes
Since 2014, Alabama is the only Power Five school that hasn't played a single road nonconference game. In fact, Alabama hasn't played a true road game outside the SEC since a 2011 win over Penn State in Happy Valley. Furthermore, since Nick Saban took over at Alabama in 2007, the Tide have only played two such games (2011 at Penn State, 2010 at Duke), and odds are both of those games were previously slotted on the schedule when Saban took over. It's pretty clear what Saban's scheduling strategy is: he'll play Power Five teams outside Tuscaloosa but at neutral sites. Whether you think that's the smart way or the cowardly way to do things probably depends on what you think of Alabama, and which team you choose to root for.

Haha.
Anyway. Glad to see we got Kira Lewis for the BBall team. I believe he will be eligble this year.
