Alabama football continues to roll into November. Here's where the Crimson Tide ranks after beating LSU Saturday, Nov. 8.

As a result, Alabama's ranking in the AP Poll did not change from a week ago, with the Crimson Tide ranked as the nation's No. 4 overall team. Alabama trailed only No. 1 Ohio State, No. 2 Indiana, and No. 3 Texas A&M in Sunday's latest update.

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 after its home victory against LSU.

Despite the changes, some fans and players still view the matchup as a significant rivalry, with one father calling it a "shame" it won't be annual. Alabama won the final scheduled annual game against LSU with a score of 20-9.
