re: SEC West is going to be a blood bath soon

It certainly can be a blood bath. Not sure if it will - this week will say a lot I think.

Auburn is the best team right now, with State being a close second - but both can't go undefeated in league play. And is one really so good as to go undefeated the rest of the year? Think about it:

Would it really be an upset to see MSU beat Auburn? Or A&M to beat Ole Miss? Or for Alabama to beat MSU? Or for Auburn to beat Ole Miss? Or for LSU to beat Ole Miss at home? Or for Alabama to beat Auburn at home?

Not really on all those - no huge upset.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a two loss team playing in the championship game, with only 1 team making it to the playoffs. I can easily see the intellectuals they have on the committee not allowing two SEC teams . . . for "the good of college football."

But that doesn't make for good Rant fodder.
