otherwise why bring it up?
because some LSU and Bama fans (which lets be honest, bama could be 2-3 and you could still find people claiming they are the best team in the country) are expressing way too much confidence in their team given what has actually been accomplished so far.

Well, first off - you're talking *FANS*, not players, so I doubt any level of confidence I do or do not possess is relevant to anything.
Secondly, while one might make the argument that Alabama and LSU have no wins over current top 25 opponents, their SOSs are:
Teamrankings.com - Alabama 2, LSU 29
Sagarin - Alabama 9, LSU 49
PredictionMachine.com - Alabama 9, LSU 47
That said, as stated already in this thread, LSU and Alabama are BOTH holding opposing teams well below their averages on offenses, and gaining well above their average on defense compared to other P5 teams.
Alabama holding teams nearly 100 yards below their standard output AND playing a consensus top 10 SOS I, imagine, would have many Bama fans pretty confident in the defense.
