After three weeks, there is still belief that Alabama could drop one road game this season, with this October 19 trip in Knoxville starting to look the most likely. The Tennessee Volunteers have been one of college football's most impressive teams so far this season, and could potentially give the Crimson Tide problems with this game in Neyland.

Smart's teams have overcome games like this in the past and there's no reason to believe they won't do the same thing this year as the opponents on their schedule get tougher. Meanwhile, Alabama looked like a College Football Playoff contender in a 42-10 thumping of Wisconsin in Madison.
