This is a big one that should start shaping the West. Is this game bigger for BAMA or Arkansas? I think both teams are saying this game is HUGE! Good luck to the Tide, but better luck to my Hogs. :angry:

With the way the Auburn/Miss.St. game is going thus far, the Arkansas/Alabama game proves to be much larger than expected for the race for the west. Can it be? Auburn's defense overrated. After week one, I thought this D could play with anyone after the 1st half. It looked like they came together. But IM re-thinking the mighty War Eagle defense now. Someone has to step up for Tub's tigers, or they may end up the laughing stock of the SEC. I remember last year when the hogs went into Jordan-Hare and came away with a win. Fans were jumping off like rats on a sinking ship, I this is different. last year even after the Arkansas loss, Auburn was still to talented of a team to give up. Beating Florida proved that. This years they don't look to be a factor is the west.
Look for Alabama with a win today to be the 06 version of the hogs possible. If they lose, still look for them to be in the race in the west depending what both Alabama & Arkansas does against Tennessee later in the season. If Florida defeats LSU as I think they will do due to superior coaching, we may have a three team race for the SEC west title no matter what happens in T-Town this evening.

Score: 37-24

Well LSU is of course the favorite. 2nd is anyone's guess at this point. I think this game is going to tell so much about both teams, in regards to where their programs are.
