Picking the most important game in the 2023 Alabama football season is an easy task. It must be Nov. 4 in Bryant-Denny against the LSU Bengal Tigers. Likewise, it should be the most important game of the season as well. There is very little reason to believe any team other than the Crimson Tide or LSU will advance to Atlanta.
Picking the most important game for the other five SEC West teams is far from easy. There is no crystal ball and I make no claim of being a soothsayer. So everything that follows comes from a combination of team research and guessing how the games will play out.
