No. 5 Alabama visits No. 14 LSU with playoff hopes on the line
Alabama, No. 5 in the first College Football Playoff rankings, plays at No. 14 LSU on Saturday afternoon at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, on ABC. Both teams are 6-2. Alabama has won the last three meetings; LSU's last win in the series was a 32-31 overtime victory in 2022. It is LSU coach Lane Kiffin's first game against Alabama since taking over the program, and the last regularly scheduled annual meeting as the SEC moves away from permanent annual opponents.
