Two weeks into the 2011 college football season, there’s a familiar sight atop the defensive statistical rankings.

Four SEC teams -- Alabama (No. 5), Florida (No. 6), LSU (No. 12) and Arkansas (No. 16) -- rank among the top 16 in the country in total defense.

And in scoring defense, four SEC teams -- Florida (No. 1), Arkansas (No. 4), Kentucky (No. 9) and Alabama (No. 13) -- rank among the top 13 nationally.

Who has the best defense this season?

Alabama and LSU were expected to fight it out for that distinction coming into the season, and we’ve seen nothing to dispute that two games into the season.

John Chavis’ LSU defense clamped down on Oregon’s high-powered offense in the opener and combines one of the most talented defensive lines with one of the deepest defensive backfields in the league, which includes one of the league's pre-eminent defensive playmakers in sophomore nickelback Tyrann Mathieu. Throw in a dizzying amount of speed across the board, and you’ve got the LSU defense.

Alabama leads the SEC and is ranked fifth nationally in total defense. The Crimson Tide, fresh off a 27-11 win over Penn State in Happy Valley, are allowing just 170.5 yards per game. Their opponents are averaging just 2.45 yards per play, which ranks second nationally.

Moving the ball against this Alabama defense is a lot like beating your head into a cement wall. The Crimson Tide have the best group of linebackers in the league (maybe in college football) and a talented secondary led by one of the best safeties in America -- Mark Barron.

Not a doubt in my mind that at the end of the season, we will be at the top of that list!

If you read it on the internet, it has to be true.

Bama and LSU are about the only two defenses that I've seen so far this season, it's all offense with the other schools.
