LSU is at home Saturday, playing its famed night game in Baton Rouge. On the surface, it’s a huge advantage but ironically the road team has dominated the series. Since 1981, Alabama’s only 9-12 in games in Alabama (Birmingham or Tuscaloosa) while LSU’s just 4-16-1 in Louisiana (Baton Rouge or New Orleans).

No. 11 Alabama (6-2, 3-2 SEC, No. 11 CFP ) at No. 14 LSU (6-2, 3-1, No. 15 CFP), 7:30 p.m. ET Saturday (ABC). The Crimson Tide and the Tigers each return from byes looking to avoid a third loss that will likely eliminate them from conference contention and the 12-team College Football Playoff bracket.
