BATON ROUGE, La. — No. 11 Alabama dismantled No. 15 LSU 42-13 in a must-win game in Baton Rouge on Saturday night in front of a hostile crowd of what was once 102,083. This win helped Alabama avoid immediate College Football Playoff elimination, as a third loss would almost certainly keep the Crimson Tide out of the inaugural 12-team format.
