Who is the 2nd biggest threat to beat Alabama?

It's hard to argue with LSU being the #1 threat, on the road, pissed off, and loaded with talent. I like our chances, but this is clearly the biggest challenge.
It gets murkier with #2.
Auburn? Lulz. Got 'em at home. Out manned, out gunned, out classed in every facet.
Arkansas? Traditionally our #2, and if Petrino were still there, an easy pick. However I think it's too big of an assumption that Arkansas will carry on like nothing ever happened. This is a team that will lose a few they're not supposed to, and one they are used to: Alabama will spank dat arse.
Usual arse whoopins of MSU and Ole Miss.
Too much brutality and depth for the SEC newcomers.
That leaves me with UT. A series that is historically streaky, with the game in the giant sardine can, with pissed off fan base after losing five straight, a good quarterback and emergent receivers built to challenge our perceived weak (ish, relative) spot.
They played us tight two years ago up there before we blew it open in the second half--they have to be better.
Tell me SEC fans . . hold me. Tell me I have nothing to fear, and the streak will go to 6 in a row.

Georgia in the SECCG. Gurley will make your defense go into the fetal position.

No one's saying everything will be like it was, but this team will definitely end up being better than the 2011 team

NCAA Investigators followed by Arky.

Atm only because it follows LSU and only if circumstances of that game cause major letdown.

Bray will pick the Tide secondary apart.

Initially 3 teams come to mind for #2.
Arkansas, Tennessee and Missouri
I choose Arkansas because its an early away game (same as Tennessee) but our defense will still be trying to dial it in against Wilson and Davis. Early season tough road game. Arkansas is really hungry to make a statement and beat us since we've had their number for 5 years. Tennessee and Missouri are also very tough road games in addition to LSU.

Alabama will beat themselves against Auburn. Bookmark it.

I'm goung w/ UTenn. Experienced QB who can play and a sizeable athletic line. Depth is an issue but if the everything bounces their way they could pull an upset. Plus Dooley NEEDS a signature win. When do y'all play? Earlier the better for them.

Is this a troll on LSU fans, you can't honestly be this big of an arse can you?

I think the Dynamic of SEC play has changed with the 2 new additions. Teams have one less cupcake and one more HVT as an opponent. With that being said AU seems like the probable #2 seeing as you now have A&M to deal with and the Iron Bowl being your last game of the season.

I doubt bama has much trouble with arkansas

LSU is #2, since Bama is #1 biggest threat to beat themselves.
