Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : It will be the first time Alabama has opened conference play against a team in the top 10 since 2013 when the Crimson Tide played at No. 6 Texas A&M. "I actually didn't know that," DeBoer said Monday.
53% : There have only been two other times Alabama has begun SEC play against a top-five team, and you have to go back nearly a century when the Crimson Tide played No. 5 Tennessee in its SEC openers in 1939 and 1940.
