A classic late-season SEC showdown carries major College Football Playoff weight when the No. 14 LSU Tigers host the No. 5 Alabama Crimson Tide. A win for either the Tigers (6-2, 3-2) or Crimson Tide (6-2, 4-2) strengthens its changes for a playoff bid, while a loss creates a steeper path with November still ahead. Alabama has dominated the head-to-head meetings, winning the last three by double-figures and 13 of the last 15 overall. Lane Kiffin, who was the offensive coordinator for the Tide under Nick Saban from 2014-16, is seeking his first win over Alabama as a head coach (0-5 career), while Kalen DeBoer is 2-0 against LSU. Star Alabama receiver Ryan Coleman-Williams is set to return after missing the past two games.
