Following the bye week, the Tigers play what will be the biggest game of the regular season as they host the defending National Champion Alabama Crimson Tide.

This has the potential to be a game for the ages with dozens of story lines for the fans and media to blow out of proportion.

As always, Nick Saban is a major story line. The Saban hatred has been getting more intense for Tiger fans year after year rather than fading away. To diehard Tiger fans, Saban coming into Baton Rouge is like Satan walking through the pearly gates of Heaven.

There is also the controversial "toe on the line" call from 2009 that should motivate Tiger players and fans to step up their levels of intensity even higher. I would watch for Patrick Peterson to come out throwing haymakers in the defense’s first couple of drives.

With the extra week to prepare, the Tigers should be able to move the ball on a depleted (but still very good) Alabama defense and win this game, propelling themselves into the National Championship picture.
