The Louisiana State University (LSU) Tigers play the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday in an SEC college football showdown. Kickoff is at 8 p.m. ET. Listen to the live radio broadcast HERE and HERE (ALA), or watch the live stream HERE.
Alabama remains No. 1 in the nation with a perfect 8-0 record. Already a favorite to win the National championship, Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban has his program clicking on all cylinders as they continue their quest for a third straight title.
With just three undefeated teams remaining, eyes are on the Crimson Tide to see whether the team will falter down the stretch. Alabama signal caller AJ McCarron, however, is tuning out the distractions and media spotlight.
"...I'm not thinking about everybody else," McCarron said Monday, via the Associated Press. "I could care less about what their record is. It's not disrespect to them. They're all having great seasons, but we're worried about us and what we need to do to take care of business."
While Alabama dismisses the notion that one lost will tank their title aspirations, a loss seemingly would take the Crimson Tide out of contention for the championship game if the other two teams remain perfect.
With only four games - LSU, Chattanooga, Mississippi State and Auburn - left in the regular season, Alabama will look to finish strong down the stretch to make their case for the championship.
LSU (7-2), however, sees the opportunity for an upset. Although an 11-point underdog on Saturday, LSU coach Les Miles and his team will come out looking to make an impression on national TV.
"I can tell you that our guys are in college football for these kind of games," said Miles. "We look forward to playing in them. It's a great opportunity for all. Any time you line up against Alabama, there's a rivalry. There's national prestige."
