Alabama and Tennessee both suffered shocking upset losses in Week 6, and aimed for big victories against unranked opponents in Week 7.

Both schools won their home games on Saturday, but they were far from easy victories as the Crimson Tide survived South Carolina 27-25 and the Volunteers escaped Florida 23-17 in overtime.

Each team is certainly on the ropes at this stage of the season, but only one can come out of next Saturday with a statement victory, which could potentially put their season back on track. Alabama is the challenger as Tennessee will host its longtime rival in The Third Saturday in October.

Last meeting: Then-No. 11-ranked Alabama defeated Then-No. 16-ranked Tennessee 34-20 on Oct. 21, 2023 in what was then called Bryant-Denny Stadium. The Crimson Tide trailed 20-7 at halftime and then shut-out the Vols in the second half, scoring 27 unanswered points. Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe completed 14-of-21 attempts for 220 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Running back Jase McClellan logged 27 carries for 115 yards and a touchdown. Alabama linebacker Jihaad Campbell had the dagger scoop-and-score midway through the fourth quarter to create what became the final score.

Last time out, Alabama: The No. 7 Crimson Tide survived a 27-25 thriller against South Carolina on Saturday, with the game coming down to a dramatic final drive. Trailing 27-19 in the fourth quarter, South Carolina closed the gap when quarterback LaNorris Sellers connected with wide receiver Nyck Harbor on a 31-yard touchdown pass. However, the Gamecocks failed to convert the critical two-point attempt. After recovering the onside kick, they had one final shot to win, but Sellers was intercepted in the end zone by Alabama cornerback Domani Jackson.

Last time out, Tennessee: Like Alabama, the No. 8 Volunteers also went down to the wire with an unranked opponent, but took down Florida 23-17 in overtime. Tennessee was down 3-0 at halftime, but running back Dylan Sampson dialed in and finished the game with 27 carries for 112 yards and three touchdowns, with the final score of his coming in overtime to win.
