Gene Chizik Celebrates Auburn's 2010 Win at Alabama.

Here the way College Football News sees the top five games in the SEC in 2011:

1. LSU at ALABAMA, Nov. 5

Two years ago in Tuscaloosa, this game was the slugfest of all slugfests, as the Crimson Tide outlasted the Tigers 24-15 in a game that was marred by a missed interception call late in the fourth quarter, when LSU cornerback Patrick Peterson clearly had possession in bounds. Last year in Baton Rouge, Coach Les Miles got tricky, calling a reverse on a critical fourth-and-one, which lead to the go-ahead touchdown. This season, these two teams will square off in early November with everything on the line. This game will be old-school, smash mouth SEC football, featuring two elite defenses and coaches with championship pedigrees. Prediction: LSU 17, Alabama 16.
