Three more than A&M, MooU, Ole Missus, Georgia, South Carolina, Vandy, Tennessee, Kentucky and Arky for starters

Did Saban stay?

Did he return to LSU?

I really think that LSU owes its sustained high level of football to Bama to some degree, as does Bama to LSU.

Rightfully or wrongfully feeling jilted and then betrayed by CNS was a primer for the rivalry. It drove competition in all areas. The competitiveness was at an all time high in 2011. The way that season played out and each year after has supercharged the game for many.

Fans can say what they want, but it is most certainly a rivalry game to players, coaches and staffs.

Saban still does well at Bama, but I think overall they are better for having LSU and Auburn push them.

Without Bama (specifically with Saban), I'm not sure LSU sustains the intensity and competitiveness of the 2000s this deep into the 2010s.

If Saban stayed at LSU, I think LSU would have added titles in 2006, 2011, and 2012 to 2003 and 2007 for sure.

Beyond that it gets a bit harder to predict but it would not be unreasonable to think we would've played for a one or two others.

The better question IMO, is where would Bama be in the 2000s without Saban?

Depends a lot on where Saban lands after his stint with the Dolphins. I am going to say at least as many as they have now with a good chance at one or two more. 2011 would be an almost certainty but we don't know how a different coaching landscape would have changed things from 2012-2019.

I'm going to say 3-4.

I’d guess probably at least 2-3 more titles

But I do agree that Bama-LSU “push” each other constantly which makes both programs better in the long run overall.

Very thought provoking post Herman.

I would say as many as Bama has.

But I’ll need to think about it some more.

Hope you and your family are doing well.

How many NC would Saban have if not for Mulligan’s. Would he be in the same conversation with Bryant ?

When you really take a look at the past 20 years it doesn't seem as lopsided as it feels.

Bama has won 5
LSU has won 3

It wasn't "Bama"

It was "Saban"
