I'm not sure there's a better coached team in the conference than Mizzou. Pinkel has done much more with much less than the rest of the East these last two years.
But I think Alabama rolls.
Agree about Pinkel...what he has accomplished is amazing.
If he can figure out a way to shut down Cooper, bammer really doesn't have much else. Kiffin tends to over-rely on a star receiver. He did the same thing at USC. My Vol buddy who lives in LA says all the USC fans used to complain about that. When the star receiver got shut down, so did USC.
Arkansas figure it out, I don't know why no one else has. I know that Kiffin has done a good job of moving Cooper around, but for chrisakes...put your best DB on him 1 on 1 play 3 safeties and have them zone double him. Play a "3 deep" permanent nickel, essentially. Just make sure those safeties can tackle RBs....
