Week 10 of the 2026 college football season is a blockbuster slate of can't-miss games across the country, including the Alabama Crimson Tide's visit to Baton Rouge to face the LSU Tigers in a top-15 SEC showdown that will carry significant playoff stakes for the winner and perhaps the loser, as well.
Alabama (6-2, 4-2 SEC) is No. 9 in this week's US LBM Coaches Poll. LSU (6-2, 3-2) is No. 15.
Both the Tide and Tigers had their customary byes ahead of the matchup, and both are coming off wins in their last game. Alabama trailed Texas A&M entering the fourth quarter on Oct. 24 but used two Keelon Russell touchdown passes and a stout second-half defense to dispatch the Aggies, 31-20.
LSU was across the state in Week 8 and clobbered Auburn, 38-17,
at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Sam Leavitt threw for 388 yards and had three touchdown passes in the Bayou Bengals' rout. He also ran for a score as LSU racked up 552 yards of total offense.
"College GameDay" isn't headed to Baton Rouge for Alabama-LSU, but the Tide and Tigers are getting the royal treatment from ESPN just the same.
