best team in the conference. Glad they all play each other. LSU's offense won't be as awesome against Bama D. I think Bama wins the west. LSU vs aTm will be a doozy. For aTm that will be a must win. As for the national picture does anyone see Oregon slipping up? Stanford will be their big test. Could be a few undefeated teams this year. Ohio State maybe, Louisville probably, Clemson maybe.
I don't think Bama's D is anywhere near as good as it has been the past 3 years. They struggled with Va Tech and if it hadn't been for Speical teams play it would have been a close game. Va Tech struggled in beating Mashall in 3 OT's last week. They just don't seem to be as dominate. A & M got a ton of yards against them in the second game but A & M's defense sucks bad. LSU can score some points and has a good D, so it will be an awesome game.
