The Alabama Crimson Tide and Florida State Seminoles kick off the 2017 college football season this Saturday. What happened the last time they met?
The Alabama Crimson Tide and Florida State Seminoles are set to kick off the 2017 college football season with a battle of epic proportions. This is a battle worthy of a National Championship atmosphere and the two teams will go at it during the very first week.
While big Week 1 games are no stranger to college football, it’s hard to remember the last time that there was a war of this magnitude on the gridiron. The winner of this game will have a huge win in their pocket and plenty of momentum as they go forward on the season.
These are two storied programs with plenty of championships and history. The Crimson Tide and Seminoles have rarely played however. In fact, the two sides have ended up only playing three times throughout history.

The last time they played each other was in 1974. Alabama ended up winning by a score of 8-7 in what can only be described as a game of madness. Nonetheless, it’s highly unlikely that is the score when the two sides end up meeting each other on Saturday.
This game features two talented quarterbacks, strong running backs and talented defenses. These two teams actually had a chance to meet for the title a few years back, but both ended up losing in their respective College Football Games. Now, the two juggernauts will fight it out in Atlanta with victory on the line.
