No way. They would have one more championship at the most. Let me do a year by year breakdown for you.
2008- Lost five games
2009- Lost four games
2010- Lost two games in a season that they beat Bama, two undefeated teams played for a national title that year including an Auburn team that beat them earlier in the season
2011- Most likely would have won a national championship
2012- Lost three games
2013- Already has two losses and they haven't even played Bama yet
2011 is the ONLY year that they would have had a shot at winning the title. In every other year, they lost at least two games to teams not named Bama. There's no possible scenario in which LSU would have won two or three more titles even without Saban and Bama in their way.
Um, not saying I disagree with your year-by-year breakdown, but recruiting would be vastly different if Saban wasn't at Alabama. Y'all have the #1 class every single year, and Alabama and LSU are the top 2 choices for a lot of star recruits.

I think it's a little past due for the gump's to accept that without LSU's ex-head coach, they'd still be stumbling around and prolly have received the death penalty for just being ignorant fricks overall.
But hey, the roulette wheel showed some mercy on them, and unfortunately at LSU's expense.
4-4 motherfrickers...

Not putting together an offensive gameplan and not putting in Lee and taking out Jefferson was shooting ourself in the foot.

I'll play: If Ryan Perilloux hadn't been a thug, we win an Nc in 08. Lee doesn't face the meat grinder as a freshman , who knows after that?

No saban and bama would still suck arse.
And AU would continue to beat LSU every other year at JH and win the west.
Saban came to bama, bama boosters started making it rain cash, cars, houses, suits, etc and bama got the recruits.
Bama boosters don't start buying up players due to saban, bama would still be AU's bitch and AU-LSU would swap years in Atl.

You are the most obsessed fan I've ever seen. You post in nearly every single Bama related thread on here. Constantly talking shite. You are a joke. Just like your head coach.

No Les is a retard that profited from a program that Saban built and perpetuates itself based on the instate talent.

Nope. Ole Miss already has more talent and will definitely have more next year. Auburn probably will too. The decline is real.

Yes. Trent, Julio, Fluker, and AJ would have gone to LSU.

2012 we lost to Bama and lost all motivation. A loss to Florida would not have hurt us. The other loss was in a bowl game so you can't count that when you're talking about trying to reach the National Championship with a sabanless bama team.

lsu and uf would run shite since meyer would likely still be there as saban made his arse quit the first time only for miles to seal the deal the next year with the fake field goal bounce.

While glancing over this thread -- I do enjoy hypothetical analyses, especially when there isn't as much trolling as usual -- it occurred to me to wonder what degree Bama's success has engendered LSU's success, and vice versa, on the recruiting trail. Somebody mentioned how Bama/LSU are often among the top choices of recruits, and it's legitimate to wonder if that's because the "rivalry" between the two has played out on such a prominent stage, nationally. With Bama winning titles, LSU (and UF before) has provided a reliable roadblock lately, and the fact that LSU won on 2007 helps frame Bama's success starting in 2008 with the undefeated regular season. So perhaps Saban's arrival at Miami is what helped make both teams more successful. It helps LSU recruiting in many ways (except when it actually steals an LSU gimme like Robinson or Collins) because the struggles between two of the top programs in the nation get attention from recruits. Saban might have turned the LSU program around when he was coaching there, but the program continues to attract top talent even after he left. Some of that is the current coaching staff, of course, but I suspect a another, measurable percentage of that lies in the prominence of the "rivalry" on a national level.
