    Of the teams in the West that play legitimate opponents today

    Which one of them falls apart the rest of the season if they lose? You have Bama/Wisconsin, Auburn/Louisville, TAMU/Arizona State. All 3 have been picked by multiple outlets to win the West (although I think TAMU is not nearly as good as many think). But which team loses and has that really affect them the rest of the season?

    I'm going with Auburn. Not only do they stink as a front runner, but I'm not sure that Auburn can handle it mentally to probably be out of the national championship picture after Week 1 unless they run the table the rest of the year. I will be very interested to see that team's mental toughness if they lose game 1.

    I think Alabama's defense is going to be good enough to get them through tough times but a loss for them in this game, which they usually dominate, would be very difficult for them and their fan base to swallow. That one will be interesting to see as well with the QB issues they've got.
