The College Football crew over at CBS Sports put in their picks for this Saturday's showdown between No. 1 Alabama and No. 3 LSU.

Rick Neuheisel, Aaron Taylor, and Randy Cross are all picking Alabama beat to LSU while Brian Jones picking the Tigers to pull off the upset.

quote:
"I like the Tigers, I'm going to take the Tigers at home and here's why," Jones explained.

"You mention Dave Aranda. He has to paint a masterpiece in this one. Yes, he's going to be without his quarterback of the defense, Devin White, for the first half. LSU has three guys: a sophomore and a couple of freshmen who have 32 tackle combined as opposed to 76 by Devin White but they have requisite players in the back end to keep this thing close for a little while."

"You get your quarterback on the defense returning in the second half. I think he can inject some confidence and of course some stellar play on that side of the ball. Joe Burrow will take care of the rock and they will lean on their running game. I'm going with the Tigers."

Burrow and this Tiger team has the ability to really surprise this Bama team and take adavantage. You think we were aggressive vs GA well times 1000 in this one. Stadium will be rockn like never before and this could all come down on top of Bama's head this year. They could very well be overwhelmed in this game. I could see that happening. I can see Tua thinking he can just make the same throws he has been all year and get picked a couple of times. He go 5-18 and Saban pull him to run the ball. LSU meanwhile is more focused then ever on offense and Burrow has his best game of the year with his WRs. LSU is up 28-10 in the first half. Bama tightens up and plays a different style in the second half and pulls closer and the game ends 34-31 LSU!
