An opportunity to compete for a Southeastern Conference Championship and get into the 12-team College Football Playoff both are on the table for Alabama football.
Kalen DeBoer and the Crimson Tide debuted at No. 11 in Tuesday’s reveal of the CFP rankings.
Alabama has every postseason goal in front of it, so all it needs to do in win out. After a successful bye week, the Tide has worked on how it can attack LSU on both sides of the ball. Alabama understands the significance of Saturday’s matchup at Tiger Stadium.
It continues its push for an SEC Championship Game opportunity and a CFP chance with a win, but a loss would end all postseason goals for the Tide. Coach DeBoer stated on his weekly radio show that Alabama is locked in on this week.
“I expect us to be well prepared and ready to go on Saturday.”

“I expect us to be well prepared and ready to go on Saturday,” DeBoer said.
“I like where we are at. We are not done yet, but I like where we are at right now.”
Alabama can silence a normally hostile environment this weekend. We will see the mentality that it takes into Baton Rouge, La.
