Alabama regained a pulse, and the three-headed race for the SEC West is back on.

Yes, Alabama, LSU and Texas A&M have one loss apiece. Each came against a nonconference opponent, though, and the West’s projected frontrunners won their SEC openers to restore order to the division.

Big games loom in November, but we’ll gain clarity in the meantime. LSU is a slim favorite this week against Ole Miss before Alabama tries to atone for a 2021 loss to Texas A&M when it visits the Aggies in two Saturdays.

On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer and John Adams rank the SEC West’s favorites, in order from most likely to win the division to least likely.

The hosts aren’t backing off their preseason pick of LSU, but then the debate gets interesting. Later in the episode, Missouri and Kentucky are each 4-0, but we're only buying stock in one of these teams. Also, Week 5 picks against the spread!
