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

State was unranked at the time of our game

the way i see that game - state has 18 returning starters and lsu was in transition (and still is to a degree). this was state's year for that matchup. there's no shame in losing to them this season given the circumstances. even so, lsu showed some fight in the 2nd half

the auburn game is inexcusable and also appears to have been an anomaly looking at 9 games.

this substantiates the trend. lsu, aside from the auburn game is steadily improving. as opposed to fact: bama hasn't been quite as good on the road, fact: bama's record against recent ranked opponents is less than stellar.

again, i'm just mentioning some intangibles. there's no way to predict if that will determine the outcome sat.
