The SEC's opening slate Saturday will offer a first look at defending national champion LSU and fellow College Football Playoff contenders Alabama, Georgia and Florida.

Missouri's Eli Drinkwitz, another coach starting at a new school, draws Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide as his welcome-to-the-SEC moment. The Tigers are significant underdogs. Meanwhile, this probably sounds familiar: Alabama is expected to enter the postseason at or near the top of the conference and poised to secure a playoff berth. Quarterback Mac Jones takes over for Tua Tagovailoa while the defense brings back star linebacker Dylan Moses, who missed all of 2019 due to injury.

Any intrigue that exists stems from the Bulldogs' recent developments at quarterback: Wake Forest transfer Jamie Newman opted out of the season, leaving redshirt freshman D’Wan Mathis and Southern California transfer JT Daniels in contention for the starting job. With Daniels still working his way back from a knee injury, Mathis is in position to play a huge part in Georgia's push for the conference title.
