November 7, 2015, Queens, NY  The Southeastern Conference is the largest feeder of talent to the NFL. The Louisiana State University Tigers currently have the most players on NFL rosters, with the Alabama Crimson Tide not far behind. Among the players are Madden Football cover boy, Odell Beckham, Jr. of the NY Giants formerly of LSU and Julio Jones of the Atlanta Falcons. ODB is considered one the most exciting wide receivers with many highlight reel catches and Jones is arguably the best WR in the NFL.

The matchup between the Tigers and the Crimson Tide is one of the most underrated. During the BCS era, they combined to win 5 titles, with current Bama coach responsible for 4 of them, the first coming as head coach of LSU. Les Miles has won one at LSU and was a runner-up to Nick Saban and the Tide in another. Miles is considered more salesman than tactician. He is an excellent recruiter and makes numerous perplexing in-game coaching decisions. Saban is also a tremendous recruiter by leads in a manner similar to that of Bill Belichick. Saban is playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers.

Tonight their rivalry is renewed in a nationally televised game from Tuscaloosa, AL.The Tigers, undefeated and ranked no. 2 overall, are led by Heisman frontrunner RB Leonard Fournette. The Tide are ranked no. 4 and are the 7 point favorites. Kickoff is scheduled for 8pm EST on CBS.
