Parity in the West

Can you think of a previous season where the SEC West had this much parity between all the teams in the division? This year, each team has a few question marks and regardless of the team, if they fill in the blank correctly they have a legitimate shot of winning the West. I wouldn't be surprised by any team representing the West in the SEC Championship game.
Or am I out to lunch? Who has no shot and why?

All teams win their two East games, split their West division games and all teams finish 5-3.

Everyone could get banners like Ole Miss.

I think it is a mirage. By October it will be a clear cut divide.

It'll be interesting how it shakes out. I can see Bama taking a step back this year and OM struggling on offense a bit. I think Arkansas improves but doesn't contend. LSU should be good but their defense will likely regress. I think auburn and A&M determine the west.

Going to a fun year for football.

Why? Your defense still isn't very good and Auburn has a bad secondary

It usually does, but if December me came running in to my office to tell me about the future and said, "Alabama, A&M, Arkansas, Auburn, LSU, Ole Miss, MSU wins the West this year!" I wouldn't be shocked, except for the part where my future self visits my present day self...I better bring some lotto numbers.

You're absolutely right, OP. Auburn should have the most complete team though.
Alabama will miss most of its offensive production.
Arkansas loses defensive starters and has a brutal road schedule.
Auburn loses offensive starters but replaces them with adequate guys. Their defense should improve. Offensive line looks good.
Ole Miss has an inconsistent QB and no running back.
Miss State loses all of their starters basically and will get abused until they grow up.
Texas A&M loses a ton of offensive line experience and their secondary/LBs are still garbage.
LSU has no QB yet and we lost some starters on defense and our amazing LT.
Here's my prediction:
Auburn
LSU
Alabama
Texas A&M
Ole Miss
Arkansas
Mississippi State

That would be the most desired result. We don't want any fanbase to have hurt feelings. This way everyone is a divisional champ.

Just look at WG_Dawg's prediction thread, I think the worst average record for a west team in that thread is 9-3 
There is going to be one, maybe two severely deflated fanbases here in a couple of months. And it could be anyone. IMO Alabama and Auburn are the two best bets not to crater, Bama because Saban has been ridculously consistent, Auburn because their weak link got a massive upgrade at coach and will be healthier. 3-7 is pretty much a toss-up and could finish in any order.

Both false. You have no clue what our QB is going to do or even who will be starting. The rushing was much more on the OL then the RB. That remains to be seen if it will be better this year or not.

Like last year it could be anybody but it's most likely Alabama frick

You're still breaking in a young QB or a thug transfer. Ole Miss doesn't have a returning starter at RB I don't think. And if they are, I have no idea who he is. That's not good.

Weird that you ranked it in descending order.
