re: Which SEC West program is going to fall to mediocrity by 2020: LSU, Bama, or AU?

Answer: Whoever has the best coach. Auburn proved that they can compete with anyone with good coaching. Bama has proven what poor coaching can do to a program. LSU has the most narrow window of success/failure of all the programs. With Les the most they will lose is 4 games in a year, but they have a hard time with 13-14 wins. A&M will have TX nipping at their heels within the next 5 years. So whoever is leading these programs will determine who the top 3 will be.
