re: Now that LSU is the King of the West will they ever be usurped?

The west goes through the state of Alabama and will until someone beats them constantly and that hasn't happened in almost 10 years.

FIFY
Given the success (obviously of the Tide) and more recent success of Auburn (only 2 years removed from the title game) I still think it's that state and everyone else is looking to knock them off. Auburn looks underwhelming because of the QB mess and the lack of solid defense. But that has been Auburn's MO even when they won vs. the Ducks and beat Bama in the kick 6. They are built like a Big 12 team, all offense all the time. LSU has a nice combination of pro set formations and an occasional read option look. If Harris gets his accuracy down and throw the ball in tight windows, the sky's the limit for this team. Bama is always sound on defense. QB never has to be Heisman caliber because the O-Line is damn solid nearly every year. Absolute monsters at RB. It'll be a 3-team race in the West for quite some time.
