How to Watch: No. 11 Alabama Football vs. No. 17 Tennessee

"The Third Saturday of October" returns to Tuscaloosa.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Get your cigars ready.

The Alabama Crimson Tide didn't jump up any spots in the AP Top 25, remaining at No. 11 this week. After three straight wins over unranked opponents, the Crimson Tide (6-1, 4-0 SEC) welcomes No. 17 Tennessee to Bryant-Denny Stadium for the "Third Saturday of October."

Like Alabama, the Volunteers (5-1, 2-1 SEC) have bounced back nicely since an early loss at Florida. Tennessee has won three straight.

The Volunteers ended the lengthy Crimson Tide winning streak in the series last season in Knoxville — a 52-49 Tennessee victory in one of the best games of the college football season.

The Crimson Tide looks to begin a new streak on its home field.
