With the win, LSU is in the driver's seat in a crowded SEC West, and should they win out they'll represent that side of the conference in the SEC Title Game.
The Tigers have undoubtedly been the most impressive team in college football to this point, running through a daunting schedule, beating the likes of Auburn, Florida and now Alabama.
LSU was just the better team.

Believed it before the game and they delivered.
An incredible second half by Alabama to make it a game.
Those are two of the best 4 teams in the country without a doubt.
It's tough to argue LSU's claim as best team in the country at this point, despite Ohio State's dominance in the Big Ten, and Orgeron's reaction to the Tigers' latest statement win shows just how much effort this team puts in each week.
