This will be the first game for the Bayou Bengals since the firing of Brian Kelly, and despite the turmoil surrounding the program, LSU could become an even more lethal opponent in their quest to challenge No. 4 Alabama. The Crimson Tide currently boasts a record of 7-1 and remains undefeated in SEC play at 5-0.
In this intense SEC rivalry, will luck and analytics favor either team? According to ESPN’s Football Power Index (FPI) for Week 11, Alabama is heavily favored with an 80.8% chance of victory over LSU, which sits at just 19.2%.

LSU has struggled to regain its footing this season, suffering a defeat against Vanderbilt followed by a disappointing loss to Texas A&M, a 49-25 defeat at home. This loss effectively dashed any hopes for a title run or a College Football Playoff appearance, marking a challenging end for Kelly’s tenure in Baton Rouge.
Now, Frank Wilson steps in as interim head coach for LSU, aiming to harness the team’s potential against Alabama. Despite recent setbacks, LSU possesses considerable talent and still has the capability to finish strong this season. However, the Tigers must improve their struggling ground game and enhance their blocking and tackling if they hope to score points against the Tide. Perhaps they will channel their frustrations into a determined performance come Week 11.
Alabama remains resilient and has demonstrated an ability to secure victories even in tight situations. Yet, the Tide are not invincible; they had close calls against teams like Georgia, South Carolina, and Missouri. This matchup will transcend mere strategy; it will test which team can endure under pressure. The Tide knows how to navigate challenging games at home in Tuscaloosa.
This storied rivalry is deeply rooted in Southern football tradition and may take on a different dynamic with DeBoer looking to establish his legacy at Alabama while Wilson strives to maintain momentum for LSU. Historically, Alabama leads the all-time series with a record of 57 wins, 27 losses, and 5 ties.
The First Saturday in November rivalry returns with kickoff scheduled for 7:30 PM ET at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
