Alabama wins it, LSU blows it, and CFP committee flexes its visionary ranking

Alabama found ways to win. LSU found ways to lose. The Crimson Tide lived up to their ranking. Lane Kiffin's debut is swirling drain.

Baton Rouge, LA - The College Football Playoff committee has shown their visionary abilities with their ranking of Alabama above LSU. The Tigers had a commanding 31-13 victory over LSU, solidifying their position as the No. 5 team in the rankings. With two road wins in their first two months of the season, Alabama showed resilience and dominance.

LSU, on the other hand, struggled with missed opportunities and wasted momentum throughout the game. While Alabama remains slightly incomplete, their ability to secure wins is undeniable. LSU, however, faces peril with three more challenging opponents ahead. The game showcased the stark contrast in play between the two teams, with Alabama's strong performance leaving LSU to regret missed chances. The outcome of this game could prove to be pivotal in determining the fate of LSU's season.
