Bama beating LSU is most likely
Florida beating Georgia is a very close second
Tennessee beating Bama is by far the least likely

If Vegas were setting a line for each of those games today I think it'd look similar to this:

Bama -1 @ LSU
Georgia -3 vs. Florida
Bama -10 @ Tennessee

Don't forget we return most of our offensive line, along with 2 RB's who've seen the field often in Hilliard and Magee, along with 2 - 2,000 rushers and Leonard Fournette. Bama losing an elite tackle might show more than LSU losing Hill. Bama also loses some key secondary peices along with thier leader CJ Mosley. Add that up with Bama coming into BR.

2012 #1 Alabama is the only loss I've seen in Tiger Stadium as an undergraduate while we've hosted numerous Top 25 opponents in that time period and other quality unranked teams as well. It's hard to win in DV under Miles

W 2010 #6 Alabama
W 2011 #17 Florida
W 2011 #20 Auburn
W 2011 #3 Arkansas
W 2012 #3 South Carolina
L 2012 #1 Alabama
W 2012 #21 Mississippi State
W 2013 #NR Auburn (BCS Final #2)
W 2013 #17 Florida
W 2013 #12 Texas A&M


In saying that, I hope we crush the living hell out of Alabama.

I didn't say Alabama WOULD beat LSU, but OP asked which was most likely and out of the options you have us it's easily the most likely. I don't know why OP even listed Tennessee beating Alabama, that's probably less likely than me sleeping with Mila Kunis.

It's hard to win in Death Valley but those wins aren't all that impressive considering one team went 7-6 and the other 4-8

I agree that it's been hard to win at Baton Rouge, but Saban has left there with a W two out of three trips he's brought Alabama there.

Oh I know

I listed the teams at their current ranking (of the game) to demonstrate the hype of the matchup at that time

I highly doubt Bama comes into BR and knocks off LSU. Too many coaching staff changes and LSU's defense may return to normal this year.



You mean the same number of coaching changes Alabama has had every year Saban has been in Tuscaloosa, save for 2009?

If Vegas was setting lines today:

Alabama would be favored over LSU.
Florida would be an underdog against UGA.
Tennessee would be a huge underdog against Bama.

So that's the order I'd put them in

I don't proactively keep up with the Alabama coaching staff nor do I care to. If you would like to share Alabama's coaching changes I would gladly listen. I did hear that Saban hired Kiffin. I'm not sure if the Alabama fan base considers that an upgrade or not? Pending?

I can tell you in confidence that if Miles hired Kiffin, you all would be laughing in our face "tDecline is real" etc, etc, etc (tbh, I would probably agree)

As for LSU:

Cam Cameron (OC) has done incredible things in only a year. I'm also excited about Jeff Grimes (OL), he can only be an upgrade to Stud. Peveto at ST should be strong too.

We missed a few guys in the 2011, 2012 recruiting classes and it obviously showed this year vs Alabama.

eta: It seems as Miles has seen what needed to be changed & has righted the ship

Wasn't directly to you, but from what I read on here daily.

Only fan base that has yall beat is Texas A&M when it comes to arrogance.

The argument was that LSU would "absolutely" win in Baton Rouge this fall due to "coaching turnover". I simply suggested that this is a flawed argument, considering Alabama normally has 2-3 assistants move on every off-season.

Say what you will about Lane Kiffin, but he's no more an issue than hiring virtual unknowns in Jim McElwain and Doug Nussmeier. People only make it an issue because of his failures as a head coach. Any successes as an assistant are immediately rejected because of the talent at USC under Pete Carroll. Last time I checked, Kiffin will have plenty of offensive talent to work with at Alabama under another defensive minded coach.

When does "highly doubt" equate "absolutely"? Never, it doesn't. Please re-read what was said.

You're making an assumption. I haven't said anything negative regarding Kiffin. I stated it seems your fan base is still pending on the hire & I wouldn't want him anywhere near LSU. Similar situation with Bobby Petrino. Both are great coaches, know their X & O's, but come with baggage too.


Time will tell, goodluck
