At the end of SEC Media Days each year, the media in attendance votes on the predicted order of finish and the All-SEC teams. Auburn will be a team to watch when the predicted order of finish is released.

One of the SEC's newest environments, DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium is another tough place to play, even despite the Crimson Tide not as familiar with this location as others across the conference. Alabama has only played Texas in Austin only three times ever, most recently 20-19 victory back in 2022.
