The Alabama Crimson Tide are entering their final game of the 2018 regular season with an unblemished 11-0 record.
Against a struggling Auburn squad, the Tide will try to put the finishing touches on a 12-0 regular season before heading off to Atlanta for the SEC Championship Game in December.
On Wednesday, coach Nick Saban said going undefeated isn’t necessarily a large goal the Tide have, but rather, they try to go 1-0 every week:
Saban asked about wanted to go undefeated: "I just want to win the next game and hopefully do a good job of preparing the players for the next challenge they have."

Of course, for now, the Tide need to be as close to perfect as possible if they want to defend last year’s title. A loss could keep them out of the College Football Playoff.
The Tide just have to go 1-0 four more times, though, to raise the trophy once again.
