I voted Bama
A) Cause I'm a Homer
B) I think with any type of offensive production, we can ride our defense to a SEC west title.
It's going to be a close call.
Auburn and Alabama both had very good D's last year, and should see little to no fall off (I actually think Bama's may be a little better). Auburn has to rebulid the entire O backfield, but there's a lot of talent there to work with. Alabama has to rebulid an O line, but has a veteran QB that has the potential to be all-EC if he remains healthy. Same can be said for Darby
IF he returns at 100% and can stay healthy for the seson. He has all-SEC potential at RB.
LSU has talent across the board, but I want to see how quickly Miles gets his system implemented, and how quickly he adjusts to SEC style play.
I think a strong case can be made to predict anyone of the three (Alabama, Auburn or LSU) to win the west.
And, likeK23 said, it will suprise me if any West team makes it through with out at least one conference loss.
