This could turn into a very disappointing season for the corndogs.

Yep. 

I'm not sure how to take this though.  I don't think we really have a shot at the SEC championship.  I do think Alabama is the strongest team in the West.  I did think LSU was the only chance to knock them off.

Arkansas was the other possibility.  Losing Davis for the season didn't help them any.

Thats what I was thinking. The Hogs may still have someone to carry the rock though. This may make an easy road for bama.
