LSU best in the west

Alabama and Auburn have something in common right now...they both wish they had a chance to redo what turned out to be the game winning play against LSU (and LSU is probably thankful it doesn’t have to play either team again). Both Alabama and Auburn are good, Auburn may even be really good (Alabama has its work cut out for it next week), but when it counted, LSU made the play. LSU is the best team in the SEC West (and in my opinion, in the SEC (unless Auburn is hitting field goals :)). Congrats to LSU. Good luck in the SEC Championship game.

Also, congrats to the Alabama players. Despite having a roster depleted by NCAA sanctions, you are 9-1 and took an LSU team that has been amassing COMPLETE top five recruiting class for the past five years to overtime (and don’t forget, LSU is just three years removed from a national championship and has had only two head coaches in that time (you've had four). As is almost always the case, you've made us fans proud!
