Is LSU a challenger to Alabama in the SEC West? Paul Finebaum weighs in
Alabama and LSU have had some classic games in recent history, and this year’s matchup is setting up to be a good one.
The LSU Tigers beat the Auburn Tigers 22-21 on a last-second field goal in Jordan-Hare Stadium Saturday, and now, we have to start looking at LSU as a real challenger in the West, right?
Paul Finebaum joined SportsCenter Sunday morning to weigh in on the Bayou Bengals.

“Is LSU suddenly a challenger to Alabama?” Paul asked. “You have to think that they are, and think about this — this is the second year in a row that Gus Malzahn has blown a double-digit lead to LSU.”
Finebaum acknowledged that although it’s rather brutal, the schedule is setting up pretty well for LSU, and getting Alabama and Georgia at home is a big deal at this point.
“LSU has Georgia and Alabama at home coming up,” Finebaum said. “Auburn has to go to Georgia and Alabama; so, they were not going to win those games anyway.”
Alabama travels to LSU on Saturday, November 3, and it’s setting up to be a great game.
