Alabama Crimson Tide at Florida Gators: Time, betting odds, how to watch on TV, live stream

Top-ranked Alabama embarks on its Southeastern Conference title defense at No. 9 Florida in college football’s Week 3 headliner. 

These teams met last December in the SEC championship game, but due to the quirks of the league scheduling format this will be the Crimson Tide’s first visit to Gainesville since 2011. Alabama leads the all-time series with the Gators 27-14 and has won the last seven meetings, including the 52-46 shootout in Atlanta to close out last season.

Both teams have undergone a lot of personnel changes this year, however. Crimson Tide quarterback Bryce Young has picked up right where Mac Jones left off. Emory Jones has taken over the Florida offense, but Gators fans are even more excited about flashy freshman Anthony Richardson, who could also see action in the game.

OPINION:If Florida hopes to beat Alabama, Dan Mullen cannot repeat Kirby Smart's mistake

QB RANKINGS:Desmond Ridder, Carson Strong, Grayson McCall post strong performances
