I dont think Fla is any better than Auburn or Arkansas

that is great this year. There's no reason MSU can't compete for 7 wins.

a good defensive team playing at home in front of 95,000 with 2 weeks to get ready could win? That's just crazy talk

If Peterson doesnt cramp up, Bama may not have beaten them last year. Jones go-ahead TD in the 4th came when Peterson came out of the game for a play.

we both know that while LSU was close late, the score was deceptive... alabama was clearly the better team...

same could be said for the AU game....

nonetheless, Bama was fortunate to go undefeated, no doubt....

with 10 minutes left in the game- Alabama was losing to LSU and Peterson had Julio on lockdown...Bama had the ball on its own 27 down 15-13...it's doesnt take a brain surgeon to realize if Peterson stays in- Jones doesnt take that ball 73 yards for a TD...Bama would have had to drive to get points instead and who knows what may have happened...

But thats why you play the games. I've never said I thought LSU is as good as Alabama. But they dont have to be to beat them in Tiger Stadium. We arent as good as Auburn, even if Berry had caught that pass the other night and we somehow pulled it out- Auburn is a better football team.

LSU is good on defense
LSU has 2 weeks to get ready for the first time since Saban has been at Bama
LSU is at home
Miles team in 2008 was worse than this one, and Bama had to go to OT to win in BR

Alabama may very well win, but that game is going to be a 17'ing war

picking upsets is no exact science...I just think it's delusional to think it's an automatic win for Bama when all 3 games have been a battle to the end- and now that LSU gets an extra week to prepare, that damn sure doesnt hurt their cause

Saban changed the off week to LSU for a reason when he got the job- he's a smart man...dont think it wont help LSU now as well

So, last year, LSU hada shot to beat Bama, if only Patterson didn't have cramps (probably menstrual).

Meanwhile, last week, LSU was dominating Vandy when they were up 10-3?

I'm confused.</p>
