Saban would have multiple NCs at every power 5 blue blood don't kid yourself. With no reputation and LSU in the dumps he signed the #1 class his second year, won the SEC his second year (took 3 at Bama), and won an NC in his fourth year (took 3 at Bama).
The SEC, and particularly the SEC West, was a little more competitive later in the decade than it was during Saban's time at LSU.

While true about the west the east was better then and he still ran through their best. UT, UGA, and UF were all elite then and he had to beat them to win the SEC.
-He beat a national championship game bound UT for his first SEC title in his second season.
-He played UF and a great UGA team twice to win his second SEC title and first NC in his fourth season. A UGA team that likely plays for the NC if not for LSU.
And how does this change the fact that he would be winning NCs at other top programs? Any of the SEC big 6, or other power 5 blue bloods. LSU was coming off of a 3-8 season when he took over and he did reach the top just as quick as at Bama
