Alabama and LSU meet at 2:30 p.m. Central in Baton Rouge, with the loser becoming a 3-loss team and facing a steep climb back into playoff contention. Brent Taylor of Roll Bama Roll described it as the final annual matchup between the programs.

Alabama enters ranked higher, but Taylor identified LSU as the favorite because of its hot streak and the home-field setting.

The SEC stakes begin earlier with #10 Texas facing #19 Missouri at 11:00 am Central. Both teams have two losses, and Taylor wrote that the winner would gain an inside track toward the playoff while the loser would face a difficult path.

Auburn and Arkansas also meet as part of the day's SEC schedule.

Why it matters
