re: Excellent article, it says it all

What most don't pay attention is the fact that Alabama needs to only beat LSU to win the SEC west next year.

Its much more likely they only need to beat aTm.

LSU has UF/UGA
Bama has UT/UK
aTm has Mizzou/Vandy

Bama beats aTm and the WORST that they get is a 3 way tie, and in that scenario Bama's likely top 1-2 preseason ranking will come in very handy.

LSU is going to have to beat Bama/aTm and 1 of the east teams. That's a tall order.
