Who do y'all think will win this battle for the SEC West Championship? I think LSU wins a close one over Alabama 30-28 with a field goal with less than a minute to go.

Not sure about LSU..they have a great back but Alabama can make you one dimensional with a great DL rotation..I'll take Bama at home..Ole Miss still has to lose for Bama to make it to the SECC

QB play will determine the game. Both will make the other QB do it.

Bama has the better D. Slight edge to them.

The bright side is even of Bama wins out they'll just lose to a BIG 10 or BIG 12 team in the first round of the playoff.

LSU is at a disadvantage in this one. Bama is built to stop them. Don't see the Tigers throwing the ball well enough to win. Bama wins @ home, 20-13. Fournette under 100 yards. RTR. Bama & Florida in the title game. Both of whom beat us on their last possession of the game.

I hope we don't run any trick plays in this game. Miles tried to get cute in 2012 and it cost us when we played well enough to beat them straight up. Bama isn't Florida; Saban has them in FG/punt safe at all times against LSU.

I suspect they will try to move Ridley around and isolate him on Thomas or one of our safeties. That can't be allowed to happen. Bama's 3rd down conversion rate is atrocious this year, a telltale sign of mediocre QB play. Their offense has been bailed out over and over and over again by their defense. I think we win if we get a 2 TD lead early. Early execution will be key. Can't hand them the momentum from the get go with a series of mind numbing turnovers like we did in 2013.

I like LSU in this one, Bama has a big advantage by having a week off but the Tigera are very balanced and rarely turn it over

Fairly even on paper, LSU has major issues in busted coverage in the secondary and special team coverages is still horrible. They have cleaned up the penalty issues which was killing them early in the year. LSU hopes to have 3 back from injury on defense, Mills actually played some against Florida.

To me, LSU really hasn't been challenged yet this year, the games have been close due to themselves, not sure that is good though. Florida probably challenged them the most physically this year but even that to me wasn't much. It will be interesting to see how LSU responds once they are challenged.

Bama to me is very good, not sure they quite stack up to years past as far as play makers. The one thing I see out of Bama this year that I never saw in recent years is early panic mode in games when they are doing fine but don't have a lead or big lead. You can almost feel panic, not sure that is a good thing all the time.

At the end of the day, Bama's scheme is based on the opposing QB playing lights out for 60 minutes and in this case Harris. Harris had developed till this point rather well, he is going to have to play smart football, if he can do that it could be interesting.

Bama winning out still means Ole Miss has to lose another SEC game, though.

I doubt that will be a problem.

Yeah, not sure they get through both Arkansas and LSU, so I think it comes down to Bama or LSU. "IF" Bama loses on November 7th they are at that point 3 games behind LSU, and LSU would only have 3 games left, with 2 of them at home. Of course, LSU has probably the hardest schedule remaining in the SEC but I just don't see where they wouldn't pull out at least 1 victory.

I think the offensive line is licking their chops at being able to play against Chavis's D.
