re: What if LSU really fixed all their problems?

We won't "destroy" any of the higher ranked SEC teams, we might win a close one, however.
Follow my thinking for a moment.
The two most dominant teams in the SEC West over the last decade, LSU and Auburn, fell off the map to varying degrees last year. This left Alabama and Ole Miss to step to the front.
But what if Alabama and Ole Miss were just the same ol' teams - albeit marginally better - and the key reason why they were so successful was that Auburn and LSU were so bad?
Then, if we return to our 2007 state, we really can destroy Alabama and Ole Miss.

Or what if the Bama of the 70's, 80's, and 90,s just fell of the map and LSU took their place and now Bama is back to their old self. See, it works both ways.

We didn't destroy these teams during 2007 and they are better than they were then and we aren't as good.
Reality check here, man. We all love to be the eternal optimists, but the fatass reality is that you don't blow out good SEC teams, especially on the road.
Expecting to go 4-0 or 3-1 against 4 top 12 teams, 3 of which are on the road is completely unrealistic. Can it happen, yes...but highly unlikely.
Winning the games we should win and splitting the 4 tough games would be a very successful year in my opinion. 2010, we come loaded for bear!

Bama was certainly a good team, but not a NC caliber team. OK, USC, Texas wouldve all beat Bama handily. Bama benefited from a year in which AU, LSU, TN, Arky were all bad; they missed Florida during the year, and Bama caught Ole Miss early on before that team really gelled.
