The much-anticipated meeting on Saturday night in Tiger Stadium between Alabama and LSU is just the latest top five matchup at that venue.

There has been a flurry in the last decade, especially with teams in the midst of national championship hopes, or seasons.

In 2009, for example, the Florida defense sacked Jordan Jefferson five times as the crowd was never in the game, and the Gators went on to win the SEC East only to lose to Alabama in the SEC Championship.

In 2011, the Tigers fell behind 14-0 early, then Tyrann Mathieu and Co. took over to pull out the victory.

But 2012 might have been the best of the bunch. The Crimson Tide came in as defending BCS champions, and LSU was looking for revenge. QB Zach Mettenberger led two scoring drives after Alabama went up 14-3. Alabama, meanwhile, came back and won behind QB A.J. McCarron and RB T.J. Yeldon.

While LSU is 2-2 all-time in these kinds of matchups, the Tigers have alternated wins and losses, which means the trend of history could swing toward the purple and gold on Saturday.
