What happened: Following LSU's 38-17 final victory over Auburn, @BCrawford247 via @CBSSportsCFB projected that the loser of the upcoming regular-season matchup between the Tigers and the Crimson Tide will fall short of the postseason bracket.

Why it matters: A third regular-season loss would leave narrow at-large positioning for an Alabama squad that already dropped a conference game to Georgia.

What to watch: The Tigers and Crimson Tide now turn to their upcoming SEC regular-season meeting.
