Title: More clarity on the horizon in cloudy SEC as contenders battle for top spots
Post by: pmull on September 22, 2011, 08:14:39 AM
There are plenty of contenders, including LSU, Alabama, South Carolina, Arkansas and Florida. All are ranked in the top 15. Others like Auburn, Georgia and Mississippi State have been previously ranked and hope to be a factor in November.

This weekend the third-ranked Crimson Tide hosts No. 14 Arkansas on Saturday while second-ranked LSU plays in yet another contest with championship implications when the Tigers travel to No. 16 West Virginia.

Alabama linebacker Dont’a Hightower prefers starting conference play with such a pivotal game.

“It’s cool to open that way because you know you have two teams that will fight to the end,” Hightower said. “Ain’t nobody gonna give up. So whoever comes out the best man in this situation here you have a good chance of going to the SEC championship.”

Looking forward to Alabama dominating Arkansas Saturday. I just think they will.

“If you win the SEC West, you’re the best in the country,” Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen said.
