Alabama football silenced a traditionally raucous Tiger Stadium crowd Saturday night.
The Crimson Tide beat LSU 42-13 in Baton Rouge, using a 185-yard and four-touchdown performance by quarterback Jalen Milroe in the ground game and three turnovers on defense to seemingly cement itself into the expanded College Football Playoff picture for the remainder of the 2024 regular season.
The Crimson Tide will host Mercer at 1 p.m. Saturday before finishing its SEC regular-season schedule against Oklahoma and Auburn .
After Alabama 's Week 11 road win against LSU , the Crimson Tide was ranked No. 9 in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll.
Alabama is one of nine SEC teams in the latest coaches poll along with No. 3 Texas , No. 4 Tennessee , No. 10 Georgia, No. 11 Ole Miss , No. 15 Texas A&M , No. 21 Missouri , No. 22 LSU and No. 23 South Carolina .
