I can't tell. LSU plays better and seems more prepared when the two teams meet. If the game was truly circled, I'd expect to see more out of Alabama than what they've shown.

The second half of last season's LSU game was the first time all season that Alabama played great. Aside from that half, Alabama was either feasting on cupcakes, struggling on the O-line, or having their cornerbacks picked on. AJ didn't have a great season either.

Auburn is not the answer for Alabama. Rivalries aren't necessarily Super Bowls. Arkansas/LSU and Ole Miss/LSU are rivalries to Ole Miss and Arkansas. LSU doesn't have a true rival. If they approached Arkansas and Ole Miss as rivals, then the games would rarely be close due to LSU's overwhelming talent, resource, and coaching advantage.
