I see the question you are asking. Maybe this is a way to ask the questions. Take Saban out of equation. Or lets say Saban coached every team.
Basically assume the coach of each school is the same. This highlights recruiting territory, tradition etc...
But I already see the flaw - the schools with more money will usually hire the better coach so that kind of knocks that method of comparison down.
I think Bama, LSU, A&M, Fla - will do what it takes to win and get back on track with new, big hires when need be. A&M still needs to be watched because they have a tradition of keeping coaches for long periods that are average. But with Bowtie, and the SEC, and investment in the new stadium - if Sumlin ever leaves or if he ever started losing and had to go, I think the new Administration will do what it takes to get a big dog.
So I say:
#1 Bama
#2 LSU
#3 Fla
#4 A&M* (see above)
#5 Ga.
#6 Auburn / USC / Ark / Tenn
#7 Ole Miss / Miss St / Mizzou
#8 Kentucky / Vandy

quote:exactly, Alabama has been on top largely due to the fact that they have had 2 of the greatest coaches in college football history. But the fact is that Saban went to Alabama, because it was Alabama, and would have left the NFL for very few schools.

People citing the past. I dont think you can look at the last 100 years, and say that the next 100 years will be exactly the same. The game is light years different.
