Coach Nick Saban doesn’t expect relief from lineup of open-date opponents | al.com.

Six of Alabama’s SEC opponents will have two weeks to prepare for the Tide in 2010, although Alabama also has an open date before one of those games — LSU. Saban said it’s uncertain what effect such a schedule will have on his team’s attempt to repeat as SEC and national champions.

Talk about tough, that’s gonna be tough.  It also shows how much respect these teams have for the Tide.  We’ll see if it’s warranted or not.
