Buy/Sell: Oh hell why not! Arkansas or another Darkhorse will win SEC West

[DamnitDog]

OK, so long as I'm flying thru wooley country filled with sheep, I'm sure i'll get blasted when I say this but screw it! If I get shot I'd rather go down in flames anyway. Damn all the freaking sportswriters who keep predicting Auburn or LSU to take the West title.

It kinda seems its set up for a darkhorse like Arky, ole miss or hell maybe even us (start the anti-aircraft blasting now please). Why you ask? Just because I said so. Just kidding.

Seriously, just a gut feeling but it seems like its one of those seasons where we have so many un-knowns. Some teams are reloading, rebuilding, revamping or in our case re-flooking. Here's hoping a darkhorse wins if only just to spite and piss off the all the talking head sports writers who think they know all about SEC football. The same ones who predicted us to get waxed by Bama the last 2 years.

But, I do think this would be the year for a dark horse to have a chance to win the West and go get blasted by Florida or UGA in the SEC title game.

By the way, I'd classify any team not named LSU or Auburn as a dark horse SEC West champ.

It's possible, but I'm not betting against Auburn and LSU. They are clearly the most talented teams in the league. However, LSU's schedule is the toughest conference slate in the league, and both AU and LSU are breaking in new QBs.

I think the SEC West will be won by a team that goes 6-2. However, I don't feel that it's likely that anyone outside of LSU or Auburn goes 6-2.

If one of the darkhorse teams had a good, proven QB, along with a decent defense, I might be inclined to buy. Since no team in the west has that, I gotta think that LSU or Auburn will win the West, simply based on talent alone, especially with what they both have defense. </p>

I'm still not sure why everybody is so big on Auburn.. I don't see it.. I think our team will be just as good as Auburn's and I fully expect us to beat them at home.. I still like LSU no matter who they run out there at QB.. with the talent around him, they'll be plenty good enough
