I will give credit where credit is due. Show proper respect. It is actually Big 1 and three that are clawing and scratching to get a chance for the big prize (will also include Georgia in that mix - they have been there as well just no national championship).

I'll be a little more biased and lenient for LSU.

It's the Big One, and then the Thorn in Their Side.

And then the others who are clawing and scratching.

Remember: there's a very good chance that LSU would have 4 and Bama 5 since 2000 if the mulligan game didn't happen in 2011.

But LSU shite the bed, and it is what it is.

But it's still impressive that the only team in that timeframe to truly come close to being Bama's peer is LSU.

Hell, I'm not positive, but I think that LSU-Bama have met more times as top five, maybe top ten opponents since 2000, if not all-time by now.

They just usually come out on top in those meetings.

But it's a hell of a rivalry, and fun as hell too.
