The No. 7 LSU football team scratched and survived a tough road battle against the Arkansas Razorbacks by a 13-10 score Saturday.
With that, Alabama has been eliminated from SEC West title contention, meaning that the Crimson Tide will not participate in this year's SEC Championship Game.
Entering Saturday, LSU sat atop the division at 5-1, with Ole Miss (4-1) and Alabama (4-2) right behind the Tigers. The Tigers had head-to-head tiebreaker advantages over both teams, though, thanks to a 45-20 victory against the Rebels and a 32-31 overtime win versus the Crimson Tide.
LSU is now 6-1 with one SEC game left (all teams play eight conference games).
