#1 Alabama at #13 LSU: 8:00pm (CBS)

This very well may be the most intriguing game of the entire weekend. If the LSU Tigers can figure out a way to knock off the Crimson Tide, then we might as well go ahead and decide there will be two SEC teams in the College Football Playoff.

The committee loves the Southeastern Conference and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see a one-loss Alabama getting the fourth spot. Not to mention, a win for LSU could bump the Cardinals down another spot the in playoff poll.

However, it would be interesting to see what would happen if Alabama did lose. The Tide still has to play Auburn and LSU still has to play Florida and Texas A&M.

As I like to remind everyone, there is still a lot of football left to be played this season.
