ESPN’s Get Up! had Marcus Spears and Paul Finebaum on set to discuss this upcoming showdown.

Obviously the Tigers could use another statement win to solidify their status as the best team in the country, but it’s not a must-win scenario like it is for the Crimson Tide.

Finebaum made it very clear that he believes Nick Saban’s team needs to win this game to keep their hopes alive of making the College Football Playoff.
