The No. 11 ranked Crimson Tide come into Saturday's matchup fresh off a bye week, which should give them the rest they need to reset and regain momentum heading into the most important part of the season. Alabama started strong with a 4-0 record but they have slipped up a bit, losing to Vanderbilt and Tennessee in their last four games.

No. 11 Alabama and No. 15 LSU seem to always have a ton on the line when these two rivals go head-to-head, and this year's no different. But this year is a little different due to the emergence of the 12-team College Football Playoff.
