Man, you should run for office! Totally didn't answer the question. Give me your predicted order of finish in the West. I can't speak for everybody, but I'm just asking your opinion. If you think ya'll finish ahead of LSU, I won't bash you. btw, I don't know if I agree that our road schedule is significantly harder in 2012. Maybe in the SEC, but overall remains to be seen.
Bama will once again be the team to beat, Saban has incredible talent on hand and they can coach. I think Arkie, Auburn, UGA, UF & USC will all be very tough games. Also think MSU will be better this year.
Usual suspects, Arkansas, Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, maybe Tennessee, but I doubt it.
I think our offense will be much better and our defense not quite as good. Beating Arkansas will be tricky in the Little Rick dump but I think the SEC West will be decided next November in BR with LSU making it 3 out of the last 4. Of course, as soon as the game is over Saban will start whining for a rematch and we'll have to play them again.
We beat Auburn by 35 pt. and the game wasn't that close. I see them in 4th. I still see another year needed. After 2010, had a ton of talent gone, still looking for help. Best of luck CA.......:thumb:
I'm not an LSU fan, but my take… Alabama and Arkansas will give you the most trouble. Of course, for all we know someone as little as Ole Miss could give you, or anyone, trouble. Every game is different and no game is ever done before it starts, but if I had to pick I'd say Bama and Arky. Bama will have a lot of talent back and will most likely be contending for the title(s) again. You guys will be doing the same. Arkansas will probably give you a scare. They've lost enough to you lately that they really need to step up in 2012 and really try to beat you. I doubt it'll happen, though. I honestly think the fate of the SEC West will come down to November 3rd in Baton Rouge…
I still like the hogs to do well next year, 2nd. or 3rd. in the West. 41-17 last year was a nice win for the Tigers. Glad for the bowl win.:thumb:
