I assume you mean if Saban is still there 10 years from now? That would be 9 SEC West Titles in 12 years.

No...freakin...way. Hell Bama's back to back titles this year was the first time that's happened since 1993 I think.

Bama has clearly taken over the West right now but the difference between them and the rest of the pack is much smaller than you think. Arkansas, Auburn, and Mississippi St. are on the rise, Nutt will always get his upset, and LSU isn't going anywhere. Bama had MANY close calls the past two seasons against inferior teams with only 1-2 plays/mistakes/lucky bounces deciding the outcome. And the outcome has favored Bama every single time. They're due. That and them losing a plethora of playmakers and experience on the defensive side of the ball next year will cost them at least 2 regular season games next year.
