On the flip side of Alabama, LSU currently has some tough games. The Tigers host the Tide and then play in Florida. The Gators have played some better football of late. LSU can move the needle by picking up two impressive wins.

Ole Miss is in a similar situation. The Rebels host the formerly top-ranked Bulldogs before heading to Florida themselves. A loss to 3-6 Kentucky would cast a shadow over their resume.
