...is one play and injury away from being derailed. This applies to every player at every SEC team, now and forever,world without end, amen. Thanks be to the football gods that the Tigers usually have considerable depth at key positions.

our slot receiver would start at any team in the SEC!

Many of which have competent Qb play of a kind we have yet to demonstrate.

The defense will be improved,

Possibly, but it needs to start strong and improve rather than wander in the wilderness in the early goings and then all of a sudden wake up when the season is virtually in the shiter.

LSU will finishi in the top two in the SEC west!

All of this for that...

If we're going to go that far, let's just say we're going to finish first ahead of either Auburn or Arkansas, pound Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl and beat either USC or Notre Dame in the NCG.

I mean really, who knows what is going to happen. Look at last season.

A&M beat a vastly overrated South Carolina which artificially inflated their rankings as well as the ratings of the teams which almost immediately began beating them, sank back to their customary level of play and then beat Auburn.

Ole Miss beat Alabama with a Petersonesque interception ruled inbound and NOT overturned by SEC officiating subsequently inflating artificially the Rebel's ranking. The Rebels, exhibiting misplaced, ill-fitting and unfamiliar hubris, subsequently are beaten by LSU in Death Valley, 10-7, only to rise again and pound Mississippi State to pulp in the Egg Bowl.

Arkansas narrowly gets beaten by Mississippi State and Alabama, destroys LSU by 17 unanswered points and turns around the next week and nearly doubles the unanswered points beating Ole Miss 30-0.

Then there is Kentucky...., I like Mint Juleps and Derby Day and their football coach. I don't know, why not Kentucky?

Post season, Alabama did what has become something of a recent Tide tradition and lost the Sugar Bowl. LSU looses to Notre Dame and the SEC East upholds SEC honor in the bowls.

We and everybody else in the West looked terrible at times and great at others. Who the frick knows except Vegas?
