Now, I have no watched much of A&Ms games, but from what it looks like, they have been un-tested as of yet. Which also makes me feel more comfortable, but there is always that "what if".

Ole Miss is a flash in the pan. They have one or two 5 star recruits and a bunch of overachieving 2-3 stars. Without the turnovers, Bama would have pummeled them. Bama, on the other hand, has tremendous talent that equals or exceeds our own. Bama will be a much tougher game. We will expose Ole Miss.

Our OL offsets Ole Miss' greatest strength, their DL. Additionally, their back seven is pretty undersized. Unless they win the point of attack consistently they're royally fricked once Fournette emerges from the LOS. He'll be a monster truck. Their lack of running game also allows O's boys to pin their ears back. They are the best matchup for us.
Bama in 2 months could be problematic if they get better QB play and their OL gels.

Of course, its never fun to go into T-town and play Bama.
I am not too worried about Ole Piss but again that one is away, so my level of uncertainty raises.
All three of these games will give me a drinking problem, but I have faith that we can pull all three out and win.

A Bama squad with Saban behind them is never good. Especially late in the year, I hate it.

Its probably trendy to say OM, but its Bama. Their D is built to stop LSU. That's why they struggle against teams like OM. You can't chase WRs and scat backs all day with 255 lb LBs.

Usually lose in bowl games. See all those 2s.

I just left Kroger and the manager is a Bama grad. We talked briefly about their lose to OM. He told me that the alumni website said Saban told the team and arse't coaches that they would not lose another game. They will work harder and smarter to win all remaining games. The staff will watch film every night until mid-nite to have a plan for every play for every opponant. They plan to play Ohio State again for the National Championship. So, it looks like he'll have a defense for Fournette. Stack the box,etc. That game will be tough.

Both.

LSU can run the football on Ole Miss, they will not run on Alabama without some passing.
Alabama will be the toughest game of the year.

As of today, it's clearly Ole Miss.
I expect Bama to get better. My answer may be different come November 7.

Alabama. Ole Miss is a little thin on the defensive front. #5 is a MONSTER though and is going to be a huge problem.

Easily Bama. They are built to stop the run and Harris will have to contribute big time if we want to get out with a win.

I'm still not convinced ole miss is that great of a team. It took 5 turnovers and a lucky touchdown for them to beat bama. I think 7/10 times Alabama wins that game. So, I think the toughest test will be Alabama. They have the ability to control the clock just like LSU does with the run game. If the defense can shut down Henry and force them to throw I believe we have a pretty significant advantage over bama. Stopping fournette, Guice, and Harris from running the ball is a task I'm not sure anyone can manage at this point
THIS...

Bama. Even if they lose 2 more games by then, they'll be up for LSU.

Yeah that #5 is a beast. He has a brother on that team as well. Pretty cool.

I can't believe the love Ole Miss is getting for getting 5 turnovers and two bullshite touchdowns and still only winning by 6. By the time we play them we'll know for sure, but they beat Bama last year with much less going for them in terms of luck and they were hardly a world beating team.
As people have alluded to, sabans defenses are built to stop, if not LSU specifically, then teams like LSU. That's why they've struggled so much against spread teams like Ole Miss/AM/Ohio State etc.
