The Alabama Crimson Tide extended its winning streak to eight games and remained unbeaten in the SEC after knocking off the LSU Tigers 20-9 in Week 11.

The Crimson Tide saw Ty Simpson pass for 277 yards and a touchdown, while the defense generated two turnovers and kept the Tigers from scoring a touchdown in the victory.

Alabama entered the matchup ranked No. 4 the US LBM Coaches Poll, the AP Top 25 Poll and the College Football Playoff Rankings, reaching that height after defeating the Tennessee Volunteers last month. The Crimson Tide remained at No. 4 in the Coaches Poll and the AP Top 25 Poll after its home victory against LSU.

Last week's No. 1 Ohio State, No. 2 Indiana, and No. 3 Texas A&M also remained in the same order after the Buckeyes, the Hoosiers, and Aggies won their respective games on Saturday.
