Not according to the data used in your graph.

For the four recruiting classes from 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011, Alabama's averaged a ranking of #2.75 with an average point total of 288.7 compared to LSU who had an average ranking of #7.25 with an average point total of 271.1. That's a fairly wide gap.
