Saturday night, Alabama will play what appears to be the toughest opponent on its regular-season schedule and biggest obstacle to winning the SEC West – College Football Playoff selection committee No. 3 LSU. Clay Travis of FOX Sports’ “Lock It In,” however, isn’t sure that even the Tigers can slow down the Crimson Tide. Travis believes that the only team that can beat Alabama is… Alabama.

“The only team that can beat Alabama is Alabama,” Travis said on the show. “That is if Tua [Tagovailoa] gets hurts or if they go out and play an awful game.”

If Tagovailoa can survive a stout LSU defense and raucous Death Valley crowd, he might be on for smooth sailing until at least the SEC Championship Game. Auburn fans will be quick to point out that the “Iron Bowl” can be a “throw out the records” type of game from time to time. Based on Alabama’s 8-0 start, however, it’s hard to argue with Travis’ take. Nick Saban’s squad has looked simply unbeatable when Tagovailoa and the offense is firing on all cylinders and UA is avoiding self-inflicted mistakes.
