No way. They would have one more championship at the most. Let me do a year by year breakdown for you.

2008- Lost five games
2009- Lost four games
2010- Lost two games in a season that they beat Bama, two undefeated teams played for a national title that year including an Auburn team that beat them earlier in the season
2011- Most likely would have won a national championship
2012- Lost three games
2013- Already has two losses and they haven't even played Bama yet

2011 is the ONLY year that they would have had a shot at winning the title. In every other year, they lost at least two games to teams not named Bama. There's no possible scenario in which LSU would have won two or three more titles even without Saban and Bama in their way.

Um, not saying I disagree with your year-by-year breakdown, but recruiting would be vastly different if Saban wasn't at Alabama. Y'all have the #1 class every single year, and Alabama and LSU are the top 2 choices for a lot of star recruits.
