What to Know
Florida State beat New Mexico State 34-17 in Week 0, then lost 27-24 to SMU on a Monday night, a result that cost the Seminoles the ranking they had been holding. Alabama is 2-0 and untested, with wins over East Carolina and Kentucky. The Tide have been favored by close to three touchdowns, which is the market treating this as a mismatch rather than a marquee nonconference test.
The full breakdown is on our Alabama vs. Florida State page, and the rest of the weekend is on the Week 3 schedule.
