Who will represent the west in '08?

Bama

Auburn, I think Bama's a year away.

Well we don't have to worry about LSU, especially since Miles is staying. Since they are losing a lot of players that bailed Miles out this year, Miles may go 7-5. That would be a good year for Miles, a good coach could still go 9-3 to 10-2 with their remaining talent.

I'm going with Auburn.

I agree w/Average. Bama is still1 year away from dominating the West. As wlayton said, LSU loses a bunch of players & returns Miles the Moron so they'll be down, by their standards. Auburn returns a boatload of starters on both sides of the ball so they should be the team to beat. Auburn's Sept. schedule looks brutal though: @ West Virginia, @ Miss. St., vs. LSU, & vs. Tennessee; it will be very hard to pass all 4 of these early season tests in a row.

I'll amuse everybody here though and take an upset pick, Mississippi State. Sly Croom has em' playing smart, physical football, they return plenty of starters, and they have a rather favorable schedule next season playing UK, Vandy, and UT from the SEC East, they also play at Ga. Tech in Sept. Here's to an all-BULLDOGS SEC Title game in 08'!

I like Sly. I like the fact that M.S. has stuck with him through the first couple of troubled years.

That's certainly not an unreasonable pick.
