For the first time in the regular season since 2020, and for the first time with a sold-out Bryant-Denny Stadium since Nick Saban’s first year at Alabama in 2007, Kirby Smart’s Bulldogs will head to Tuscaloosa to attempt to earn what would be the best win of the 2024 season as the midpoint of this year’s campaign approaches.

There are other intriguing matchups around the league, including other programs’ conference openers. Five teams are also on bye, so let’s take a look at how teams are spending the final weekend of September in This Week in the SEC: Week 5.
