The Alabama–LSU football rivalry, also known as the "First Saturday in November" and the "Saban Bowl" (as both schools's football teams had Nick Saban as head coach), is an American college football rivalry between the Alabama Crimson Tide football team of the University of Alabama and the LSU Tigers football team of Louisiana State University. Both schools are charter members of the Southeastern Conference (SEC), and both universities' sports teams competed in the SEC's West Division when the conference was split into two divisions from 1992 to 2023.
