The highly anticipated matchup between No. 11 Alabama and No. 14 LSU is set for Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET, with significant implications for the College Football Playoff on the line, as a third loss would likely eliminate either team from contention. Alabama, coming off a dominant 34-0 win over Missouri, and LSU, looking to rebound from a 38-23 loss to Texas A&M, both have two losses this season and are fighting to maintain their playoff hopes. Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe had a standout performance against LSU last year, while LSU's Garrett Nussmeier currently ranks as the SEC's second-best passer. The matchup marks the third consecutive season both teams are ranked in the top 15 when they face off. The stakes are high, as both teams are also vying for position in the SEC standings, making this a critical game for their postseason aspirations. The game will be broadcasted on ABC.
