I can't wait, this is one of the most entertaining threads this offseason. Toughest opponent is next Saturday - A-Day. Roll Tide.

Without question LSU. May be lucky to win 8 this year.

LSU easily. Texas A&M has a Boise State-type schedule while Bama returns a ton and has a pretty easy schedule as well.

FYI

LSU returns just as much.

bama's saving grace again this year is their weak arse east schedule.

The two times since '07 that bama has had a more difficult east schedule than LSU they have finished fourth and fifth in the west.

In that same time frame tigers have finished no lower than #3 in the west.

I would submit that the Ags went forth last year with a new coach, new RS freshman QB, new system, new conference, etc. etc. and performed above and beyond expectations, especially since they didn't know what to expect on many fronts. No question.

I would also submit that the improvement from year one to year two, when switching new coaches/system historically speaking, is substantial.

A&M is not only not going to fade, but is going to be substantially BETTER than last year.

Can't wait until September.

That's cool. No problem there.

Still think they lose to bama early in the season and to LSU late in the season. Could very well be their only two losses. Just like last year 10-2 regular season, third in the west.

LSU returns 15 starters and 33 of 44 on the 2 Deep. And, the roster is insanely talented.

OC coaching is a MASSIVE upgrade.

Mett will have another year and offseason under his belt.

Bigger, taller, faster WRs coming in.

Jeremy Hill starting all season and Alfred Blue returning.

Corners will be better, New DEs will be fast and better than expected, Freak and Ego in the middle of the line . . . Defense will be fine.

LSU will have a major chip on their shoulder after a disappointing 10-3 season. I am expecting great things.

Just to back up AlaTiger a bit, here's a few more things to consume:
1)Looks like Copeland has grown up some and has his head on straight...look out!
2)Hill is running with more confidence.
3)The OL will be bigger and tougher than last yr.
4)LSU has it's 1st real OC ever in charge
5)Brazil will be a factor on STs

Its between LSU and A&M. Alabama will be better.
LSU has an unproven defensive front 7.Only one starter returns. Their season will go as that goes. A&M will not sneak up on anyone this yr. Several teams will wanna get some of Johnny football and will circle that game on the schedule this yr. Bama doesnt play them the week after LSU this year either. But JF is terrific, tremendous player.
Watch Ole Miss as as the sleeper this year, they will beat at least 1 of these 3.

Regardless, MSU is a better fit in Sunbelt than SEC.

Why is it so hard to conceive that none will fade? All 3 will probably win 10 games this year. For the first time in a while, the west is a 3 pony race instead of 2
