On Saturday night, Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium will once again play host to a heavyweight college football matchup between the Alabama Crimson Tide and LSU Tigers.

One of college football’s most anticipated matchups annually, this season’s meeting between the Crimson Tide and Tigers is no different, even despite LSU’s recent struggles under former head coach Brian Kelly.

So, ahead of Saturday’s matchup in Tuscaloosa, we turned to the EA Sports College Football 26 video game to do a simulation of the game, as with every other week this season, to predict who wins. Up to this point, the game sports a combined 2-6 overall record this season when correctly predicting Alabama’s games.

Here is who College Football 26 predicts to win Saturday’s Week 11 matchup between the Crimson Tide and Tigers.
