For some reason I'm seeing people compare Chad Kelly to Coker, the Ole Miss secondary to Alabama's secondary, etc. and it really doesn't make sense to me because those units won't be on the field at the same time as one another. The better way to form an opinion IMO would be QB/WR vs secondary/ O Line vs D Line/etc.

OM passing game vs Alabama's secondary:
Bo Wallace torched an Alabama secondary that I believe is better than the Alabama secondary of this year. So far, Kelly has proven to be a better decision maker and overall gamer than Bo was, and with Laquon, Adeboyejo, Core, and Stringfellow at his disposal, I don't see Alabama being able to have much success in this regard.
Advantage: Ole Miss

Alabama D Line vs Ole Miss O Line:
This one is easy. We will likely be without Tunsil, but either way Bama would win in this category. That D-line is incredibly stout. If Bama is able to exploit this, stop the run, and put pressure on Swag, their mismatch with Ole Miss's receivers would be greatly helped.
Advantage: Alabama

Alabama O Line vs Ole Miss d line:
Pass protection wise, the Alabama offensive line has looked shaky at best. However, I expect Kiffin to pound Henry up the middle to try to wear us down. Our D Line has more depth and size than it ever has, so I'm expecting us to keep a lid on Henry, much like last year.
Advantage: Ole Miss

Bama passing game vs OM secondary:
Not confident in Coker's abilities without a dominating WR. Being without Shephard for a half hurts OM, but he was only a backup CB. I expect Coker to struggle against a secondary that's already racked up 4 INT's, 3 being for touchdowns.
Advantage: Ole Miss

31-20 Rebs

Ill admit these two teams have the least amount of question marks compared to any other two in the west... but I still kinda feel that Auburn vs Bama/ Bama vs LSU own this title.

Indeed. LSU has to travel to both Tuscaloosa and Oxford. I believe that alone puts them out of it

Alabama will run it at Ole Miss until they break and rest their defense. A fresh Alabama defense will be able to keep Ole Miss' air raid attack in check. Nothing about this game plays into Ole Miss' favor.

LSU has a pretty good record at both Tuscaloosa and Oxford. Traveling to either hasn't held us back before.

Why would Ole Miss fans know anything about a battle for the West?

'Why would Ole Miss fans know anything about a battle for the West?"

You forgot they were "co-champs" in the west in '07.
You know: they hung a banner.
