The number one ranked Alabama Crimson Tide travel to Atlanta to face the 3rd ranked Florida State Seminoles in what should have the feel of a college football playoff game.
Both programs understand anything less than a National Championship is considered a bad season.

Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher will have their teams ready for this juggernaut matchup. Florida State finished last season 10-3 overall and 5-3 in the ACC finishing third in the conference.
Alabama on the other hand is coming off another tremendous season. The Tide lost in the final seconds to win the National title last year.
Florida State Seminoles
Jimbo Fisher is confident that sophomore quarterback Deondre Francois will come back better than 2016 and lead the Seminoles to an ACC title, and a seat in the National Championship at the end of the year.
Francois passed for 3,350 yards and tossed 19 touchdowns last season as a redshirt feshman. Having FSU all time leading rusher Dalvin Cook in the backfield helped in 2016.
Now that he is gone other players will have to step in and help their quarterback. Wideout Nyquan Murray should emerge as the go to guy for Francois this season.

The Seminoles defense returns three key pass rushers on the defensive line for Florida State.what Some say in the most loaded line in the nation.
Add in the secondary with all american safety Derwin James and defensive back Tarvarus McFadden FSU will be stocked in the secondary.
Not to mention the linebackers who are loaded with endless talent this year.
Alabama Crimson Tide
The Alabama Crimson Tide have showed no signs of letting up over the last decade or so of dominance. Head coach Nick Saban has not had a disappointing season in years.
As much talent as the Crimson Tide lose every year, it seems like they gain more the next. Nothing short of a championship trophy for Saban and the Tide this season.
The Alabama offense will start Jalen Hurts again at quarterback. This will be a plus for the offense this season, but could be a minus as well.
Hopefully Hurts is on the same page as new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, who is taking over for Lane Kiffin calling the plays this season.

The Alabama defense will be loaded again as usual, but lost five of their best front seven players this year to the draft. Defensive player of the year Jonathan Allen is gone too.
The Alabama defensive line may struggle a little in the beginning of the year, but the talent is there. Minkah Fitzpatrick will lead the way in the secondary for the loaded Tide.
