Where They Stand:
No. 5 Alabama Crimson Tide (-6.5) (7-1, 4-1 SEC)
No. 16 LSU Tigers (7-2, 3-2 SEC)
The No. 16 LSU Tigers look to pull the upset at home and get back into the SEC Championship conversation against the No. 5 Alabama Crimson Tide who are looking to get into the College Football Playoff Top Four for the first time.
Coach Nick Saban spoke about this LSU team and what they can do to the Crimson Tide. he said as long as his team can execute their game, they can hang with LSU in Death Valley.
"They have a very physical team, and they're playing physical football right now," Saban said. "There's not a lot of trick 'em to it. You've just got to match and be the same kind of physical team to be able to have a chance."
"They have a very good team, who's playing their best football of the year," Saban said. "We play these games one game at a time and this is the most important game, because it is a game we play this week against a very good team on the road in a difficult place to play.”
The Crimson Tide can find themselves in the Top Four with a commanding victory over LSU or a Oregon loss.
LSU has gotten little credit for their season since they started 0-2 in the SEC, but what they don’t tell you is they have lost to No. 1 Mississippi State when they were unranked and then No. 3 Auburn that many call the best team in the country.
If LSU can come out of this game with a victory, they can consider themselves back in the SEC conversation and should get a giant boost in the College Football Playoff rankings.
Alabama leads the all-time series against LSU 48-25-5 and the Crimson Tide have taken the last three meetings from the Tigers. The Tigers last win against the Crimson Tide was in 2011 when they won a 9-6 thriller.
