This game determines the team that will have a shot at wrestling the SEC West away from two-time defending division champ Alabama. If LSU prevails, its “Saban Bowl” at home game against the Crimson Tide on Nov. 6 will be gargantuan. If Auburn comes through, the Iron Bowl against Alabama on Nov. 26 will be even bigger (if that’s possible).
No matter what happens at Jordan-Hare Stadium, one or both of those games next month against ‘Bama will have BCS implications, but first thing first. The top Tiger needs to be determined.
