But with another loss, Alabama should be out, and that’s not up for debate. Oklahoma State is still a mystery as it tries to repeat its 2011 run to playoff contention.

“There is no way you can be a leader without being a really quality participant”, Miles said. If this game comes down to the kickers, LSU will have the advantage.
This game also will have implications on the Heisman race. LSU is the only remaining unbeaten in the SEC and Leonard Fournette could be on the fast track to the Heisman Trophy with a big game against Alabama’s sting run defense.
Alabama has its own offensive weapons in QB Jake Coker and running back Derrick Henry.
P.J. Walker threw four touchdowns passes and ran for another score, freshman Jager Gardner had a 94-yard scoring run on Temple’s second play and the 23rd-ranked Owls beat SMU 60-40 on Friday night.
There is no doubt this is the game of the week and one that shouldn’t be missed.
The Crimson Tide, who finished No. 1 in the final 2014 CFP poll, have one loss, a 43-37 defeat to Mississippi.

“He’s a back – (if) we wrap up and run to the ball, we’ll be successful”. No. 8 TCU at No. 14 Oklahoma State, 3:30 p.m. ET For all intents and purposes, the Big 12 schedule for both of these teams begins this weekend. He’s 73 percent of LSU’s offense, and the Tide front seven is the biggest test he’ll receive until he plays against the Oakland Raiders in 2017.
Both of these offenses have put up ridiculous numbers this season. The over/under in this one is 48.5 total points. The pass defense, however, has been iffy at best: 222.1 yds/game (9), 6.0 yds/att (5), and 120.9 Rating allowed (9).

Alabama come into this game as mild favourites, and I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see the contest decided by which team has the better quarterback play at a clutch moment. After limiting West Virginia to 10 points last weekend, the Horned Frogs’ defense might be peaking at the right time, though it still has to contend with a Cowboys’ offense that scored 70 points against Texas Tech last weekend. This week, two the juggernauts in college football will be meeting in what should be an epic match up; The Alabama Crimson Tide and the LSU Tigers. At 7 p.m. Saturday, everything – all the clutter – will shut down for many. There is also the fact that the Tigers have played 28 quarters so far in their 7-0 start and have trailed after only one of them, falling behind Florida 7-0 after the first 15 minutes in their eventual 35-28 win. His long arms make him incredible hard to get around on the edge, and he does a good job anchoring against more powerful players. North Carolina is undefeated in conference play, but a loss against the Blue Devils would level the playing field. The Tigers have a tough slate to go, including games against Navy, at undefeated Houston, at once-defeated Temple (a narrow loss to Notre Dame) and against hapless SMU.
