It took falling into the best D-Line in college football to make Steele appear competent...This is a fair take. Alabama easily could be a double digit favorite over LSU if they played next week in Tuscaloosa. That’s why I have zero problem with Bama being ranked over LSU if your main criteria is who has the better team.
The defense is such a mystery. LSU fans never cared for Kevin Steele. Aranda came in as boy genius who took a bunch of 2 star and 3 star players in Wisconsin and made them a top ten defense. What might Aranda do with LSU type talent?
Now Steele looks great at Auburn and Aranda looks almost clueless.
