re: Corndogs... Would You Trade The Saints Championship For No Saban In SEC?

probably in 11, but why are you considering 2012 a guaranteed NC? You would still have to play UGA in SEC CG which would for sure not be a guaranteed win and what makes you think you could beat ND like Alabama did. ND wasn't the no.2 team but they were at the very least a top 15 team.

First off, 11 is not a probably, it’s a guarantee. Bama was the only team that could beat LSU that year, which is a compliment to Bama, not an insult.

As for 12, you’re right, UGA was not an auto win, which is why I say probably 3. Maybe they don’t beat UGA, that’s a fair point. But ND was not a top 15 team that year. If you don’t think LSU steamrolls them if they beat UGA (a toss up) then you’re not being realistic. Had UGA, won, they’d have done the same.

The thing is, you have to think about what Les could have done without Saban to challenge him on the recruiting field. It would have been us getting #1 classes every year with no one to truly challenge us. Even with Les’s old school offense, we would have out talented everyone, just like Bama does now. So 2015, 16, and 17 are all extremely probable playoff appearances. And we’d have won at least one if not two of them.
