The strength and conditioning between LSU and Bama are pretty much on par. The difference is the schemes each teams run. For instance 3-4 vs 4-3.
In a 4-3 you typically want to be faster on the edges (being that you only have 3 lbs). Now, the fact that you have 3 lbs, you want those guys to cover the middle better and not worry so much about the run or outside contain. If you have 4 lbs you have the luxury or spreading out the lb core and in turn are able to have bigger bodies in the middle.
Witha 3-4 you want nothing but beef on the line to close up lanes and let the 4 lbs do work. That gives the lbs the ability to be beefier even if they are a step slower, they have an extra man.
I don't think saban just flat out goes for bulk while miles goes for speed, but I think the conditioning for certian positions are simply different regimens.
Bama's Oline and dline are about the same aside for mingo and Montgomery (goes back to 3-4/4-3). The skill positions are about the same. The only noticeable difference in size is DE's and LB's. And as mentioned above, that plays into their schemes.

I agree with this dude. Bama, UGA, and UT all run 3-4 and all three are pretty big on the line and all three have pretty big LB's. As a whole, the conference has some big interior linemen and when the SEC steps OOC, you really can tell a difference.
