No. 8 Alabama travels to Lexington on Saturday, Nov. 11, to face the Kentucky Wildcats. The game will be live streamed on DirecTV Stream (free trial), fuboTV (free trial) and SlingTV (half off first month).

Alabama is nearing another SEC West title with hopes of entering the playoff picture.

All while the No. 8 Crimson Tide still seek a complete performance.

A high bar, indeed. But what’s clear entering Saturday’s noon game at Kentucky is Alabama’s been on a roll since a September home loss to No. 7 Texas. The Tide (8-1, 6-0 Southeastern Conference, No. 8 CFP ) have won seven straight and can clinch the West with a victory over the Wildcats (6-3, 3-3) or a Ole Miss loss.

After duking out a 42-28 victory over No. 18 LSU last weekend, Alabama coach Nick Saban acknowledged his team came close to meeting his lofty expectations. He also warned that the Tide can’t let up, especially against a Kentucky squad coming off a win at Mississippi State.

The Wildcats finally put both phases together with last week’s 24-3 victory that halted a three-game slump. Bowl eligible for an eighth consecutive season, they look to improve their postseason prospects with a marquee victory.

Kentucky has room to grow offensively after totaling just 271 yards, though Devin Leary threw for 156 with two short touchdowns. But the defense held the host Bulldogs to just 218 yards, returned an interception for a touchdown and allowed only a field goal from a remarkable 20-play MSU drive that consumed 12:29.

When is Alabama-Kentucky?

Alabama faces Kentucky at 11 a.m. (noon ET) on Saturday, Nov. 11.
