The Novemeber 9th meeting between Alabama and LSU could and should very well be a rare regular season match up of the nation’s top two teams. Both should still be undefeated for that meeting and of course the SEC Championship could very well be decided in that meeting. But will the national Championship?
Perhaps not. Alabama’s schedule may not allow them to make the playoffs with a loss, but looking at the resume that LSU has this year, there would be a very strong argument made that a one loss LSU, provided the loss was close, might be more deserving than an undefeated Clemson who has played one of the weakest schedules of anyone likely to have strong consideration.
