re: Why do people think Alabama is going to beat LSU?

I always think it's silly when fans of a team run down the accomplishments of the team they are playing next. That way, if you win, you've beaten a team you'v already said is not very good and if you lose, you've gotten beaten by a team you've already said isn't very good.

It's clear that Alabama is and has been a very good team. A victory against them would be a great accomplishment.
