Of course they are. And Alabama will probably win. But the overconfidence by some of you Alabama fans is pretty ridiculous.

Alabama's toughest opponent in YPP is ranked 90th in the country. their worst is 119th. Alabama hasn't played an average Defense yet. much less a good one.

And no, their stats are not deflated by the Bama game. You aren't 90th or worst in YPP from one game.

Wake Forrest and Georgia Tech put up more yards on Louisville.

Our offense is pretty solid man. We have all kinds of talent. Burrow has improved week by week. We have played some tough defenses as well. We will be the best offense baMA has faced this season. Defensively, we will be the toughest by far. It's going to be a challenge for LSU, but it's going to be a challenge for Bama as well. This is going to be a tough hard fought game between 2 solid teams. LSU has faced better opponents and it's not even close.

Not scared, but respect is there. This will be our toughest game until the playoffs. I fully expect to still be stressing over the game early in the fourth.

Quit being a wimp.

LSU's hosting the reigning NC champs & the current #1 team in the country - this game is fricking huge for both programs and everybody knows it, whether you think it's being "talked about" or not.

Natural progression has never been a part of this series. Throw it all out the window. See you Saturday.

Yes, but Bama has a false sense of security b/c you've played such a soft schedule. LSU will test you.
