S&P+ Defensive rankings
In the advanced stats, LSU is currently sitting #8 in S&P+ defense while Bama is #20.
The difference isn't large, people are just pointing out Bama's defense this year isn't as good as it's used to being, which is a valid point thus far. #20 is a solid defense, but it's out of the elite category.

Compare the FEIs as well as the off/def lines
Matchup problems galore in favor of Bama

If you use S&P+ and look at both offense and defense, it looks like lsu is in trouble
Defense
LSU #7
Alabama #20
Offense
Alabama #2
LSU #67
One of these is not like the others

What's crazy is LSU has played 5 of the top 26 teams in this ranking. Huh, you would think that would affect our offensive statistics, right? Alabama's toughest defense faced is #30, and the others are almost 3 times as worse.
