How did LSU become the only thing standing in Alabama way?

It's like everyone that will face Alabama this year has been written off. Yet LSU is widely consider by everyone the only tean that can go toe to toe with Saban bama and come out with a victory. However, people still believe LSU can be beaten by any other team but believe Bama only rival would be LSU.

When did this happen?

That part is not true at all.

The national perception is:

1a. Bama
1b. LSU






























2. Everyone else.

I think it's fair right now. Bama has beaten a good Michigan team on a neutral field and a talented Arkansas team on the road. LSU has not left the friendly confines of Tiger Stadium yet. Bama is much more tested as of now and much more proven. Who is better is yet to be determined, but Bama deserves the praise right now just like we did at the beginning of last year.

Everytime the media hypes up a team like they are Bama that team usually starts reading those headlines and starts acting like they have already won. LSU is just under that radar and not getting the respect that Bama is. That is fine with me. Keeps an edge to the team.

Bama's schedule is a joke! Somehow they have avoided scheduling Florida, Georgia and Tennessee. LSU will be there only loss in 2012.

Funny.. I think the media thinks more like this it seems.. Even saw the pic posted of it..

This is some peoples Top 5.

1. Alabama
2. Alabama 2nd String
3. LSU
4. Oregon
5. Alabama 3rd String

And I'm sure there are actually people that believe that.

Dude, Bama-Tenn is one of the oldest rivalries in football.

Hell, both schools insistence on playing each other every year is why the SEC schedules permanent cross-division rivals (and LSU gets stuck facing Fla each year).

LSU and Bama will beat every team they face by double digits, except each other. They are both the only thing standing in the other's way, and I haven't heard anything to the contrary.

Bama has faced tougher competition and their defense looks better at this point. Bama #1/LSU #2 is right, for now.

Two Days Ago (Saturday). Arkansas was the last team left they should have problems with until us. We still have road games at A&M, Florida, and Auburn plus USCe at home. We've got a long way to go.
