Alabama loses to Auburn, Arkansas goes 10-2, and other west predictions

Alabama plays Auburn in Jordan-Hare which is never a good thing, despite the recent success there (outside of 2010 and 2013). Arkansas finally has a little more depth and Bielema's philosophy and scheme is totally in place. Their power running game proves too much for teams that don't have good defensive lines and/or linebacking units. Hence why they don't beat the 2 Alabama schools.
LSU has moderate success this year. Doesn't get embarrassed or flops randomly like last year. They most likely, I imagine, will return back to beating teams that use kindergarten gimmick offenses. Ole Miss is really hard to read. I would understand if they went anywhere from 5-7 or 9-3. Will be a tough game for Bama again.
Mississippi State will have a slight decline. Dan Mullen has proven himself to be a good coach that has kept MSU very consistent (in wins at least) and is much like a discount Mark Richt at a school that doesn't have that much tradition. The only reason I really have them declining is the fact Robinson is leaving, and he was SUCH an important player and even though they get back most weapons, it's too much. They'll stay above 8 wins but won't wow anybody in the process. TAMU tInclines a LITTLE. At least to the point in which they aren't getting massacred 59-0 or having the Mississippi schools clobber them. I don't, however, believe their record will reflect their internal improvement. See Bama post-2007/pre-2008.
Chime in with your input/predictions/discussion.

i'll take 10-2 or 9-3, i'm not greedy.

Good defense and a stout running game will give LSU a chance to beat anyone. I expect 9-10 wins this year with 12+ a possibility with improved QB play, which I'm not expecting.
10-2
10-2

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I will say this, don't sleep on us. Defense will be very good along with a very good o-line and damn strong running game. If the QB's can just be good enough we could be in for a really good year. Just sayin!
10-2 or better

The West is outrageously loaded this season. It's possible that we could see a three-loss champion in Atlanta. To date, only one three loss team has represented the West in Atlanta, the 2001 LSU Tigers.

We went 9-4 this year with zero running game and Bo Wallace under center, bub.

You've never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever heard me say that about Bo Wallace.

We are returning 17 starters and our entire offensive line, for the record. Mississippi State is decimated by losses, as is Alabama.

No no, it's y'all who change the narrative. When Bo was playing, it was "LOLZ BO WALLACE SUCKS LOLZ BEARZ." Now that he is gone, it's "LOLZ WHAT ARE YOU BEARZ GONNA DO WITHOUT BO WALLACE LOLZ."

Recent success in JH? Yall have won twice there since 2003.

I don't think Ole Miss will tank, I just don't think they'll compete for the West. I don't think MSU or LSU will either.
