I think LSU may be the biggest threat to Alabama and Georgia in the SEC this season and there’s a reason Brian Kelly is considered one of the best coaches in the country.

Jayden Daniels is back at quarterback and the roster is just reloading once again with an elite recruiting class and transfer portal additions.

If this was in Baton Rouge, I’d give the nod to the Tigers, but since it’s in Tuscaloosa, I think Alabama wins a classic.

Prediction: Win (9-0, 6-0)

Losing Will Levis is going to do a number on Kentucky even though Mark Stoops is one of the best coaches that no one talks about.

Kentucky will make this interesting because it’ll be hosting Alabama but the Crimson Tide will be on a roll at this point in the season and there may be no slowing down this well-oiled machine.

The Wildcats will keep things close for three quarters but they’ll run out of steam late and fall apart in the fourth quarter.

Prediction: Win (10-0, 7-0)
