re: lets see your SEC West standings for 2009

I would predict:

1. LSU
2. Ole Miss
3. Arkansas
4. Alabama
5. MSU
6. Auburn


Reasons:
LSU
LSU's new coaches add a spark to a talented defense. The QB play will be better and we will actually have a qb to run the option that Crowton refuses to give up on even if we don't have an option qb. We get UF here this year, but have to play Bama and UGA on the road. I think we can take all three games though.
Ole Miss
Nutt has still got some talent and Snead will likely be the best throwing qb in the SEC this year. Defense will be good, but after this year, look for Ole Miss to become ArKansas v2.0. Their East opponents are also USCe, Vandy and UT.
ArKansas
I think Arkansas blows up on offense this year and everyone will just have to outscore them. However, they play UGA and Florida this year. I think they beat UGA imho.
Bama
Talk about an easy schedule. Va Tech and LSU are the only hard games and they are both @ birmingham. The also get USCe and UT at home as well. QB play and offensive line play will be the issue with them this year IMO.
Moo State
Good recruiting class and some decent talent with a new coach. I don't think they have the players to run the system Mullins wants, but it will be interesting to see what Moo State looks like this year. Will also be interesting to see if Mullins trys something to stop Florida. Too bad we play UF two weeks before Moo State does.
AU
Not a ton of talent, and nobody was really happy with Chizik's hire. They are @ UGA and UT. Sad time to be in Auburn... However I don't know how happy you could be there. There really isn't much in Auburn.
