Wrong. LSU has three national titles this century, second most of any SEC program


What happened 20 years ago has no bearing on it but the poster is giving LSU too much credit because Ole Miss is also better right now, so LSU is probably at best 5th in the conference next season.

Eta - for that matter what happened in 2019 didn’t have any bearing on the 4 seasons since then. I think LSU has lost like 18 games since then

Alabama has had 5 national title winning coaches, 4 of them multiple titles

Alabama has won NC in the
1920's
1930's
1940's
1960's
1970's
1990's
2000's
2010's
2020's

If you think Alabama will go more than a decade without a title then you need to think again

If President Joab Thomas had not been such an idiot then Coach Bobby Bowden would have been Alabama's coach starting in the 1980's

That is reality

After Coach Bryant retired Alabama fans heard all this then, and Alabama won 7 more (so far.) Alabama is a different place, we win ALOT of titles and games.

RIGHT NOW Ole Miss is probably #3 behind UGA and Texas.

Strange. LSU is favored over Bama and has higher national championship odds than Ole Miss

2 reasons.

1-It was 6 years including the 2020 season.

2-All the other championship teams had to beat Bama to win it all except FSU. (Auburn, OSU, Clemson twice, LSU, UGA twice, even Michigan) Bama was the best for a decade and a half, and champions had to beat the best.

Alabama odds to win national title according to Vegasinsider.com

Oh and Ole Miss also has better odds than LSU

As a LSU fan, I laugh when people say 2020 didn’t count because you and I both know if LSU would have won the natty we wouldn’t say shite about COVID. Double standards are hilarious

Dynasties usually last around 3-4 seasons before starting to fizzle. Bama not only won 5 championships from 2009-2017, they also had multiple seasons where they damn near won it all. In fact, I’d say that every season from 2008-2021 save for 2010 had a Bama team that could have won the NC. They played and lost in five CFB playoffs (2014, 2016, 2018, 2021, 2023).


From 2008 to 2023, Bama was never eliminated from the NC before November, and was only eliminated before the Auburn game twice (2010 & 2022, when they were eliminated by LSU).

I hate it, but you have to give mad props to that level of consistency.

LSU fan Monty Brewster writes -

unlike LSU, they NEED a good coach to win, and there will never be another Saban



Probably one of the dumbest things I've ever read on SECRant.

The truth is, and you'll find out by year 5, even with a good coach, LSU can't win a Natty.

LSU needed more luck than most know here, either utilizing Saban's recruits or a generational player who developed at the right time.

Case in point - Look where LSU landed [perhaps with even a better athlete/qb] Jayden Daniels on the team... 3rd in the West.

Truth... incredibly difficult to maintain that kind of consistency at that level of play, for that long.. being our interstate rival, we had front row seat viewing & it still seems hard to believe.

It was half the years during that time. But it was mostly the 10+ win seasons that covered the years they didn't. It's more surprising that they didn't win one for 6 years to end Saban's career and it didn't seem like it.

Ya in a meaningless COVID year with opt outs, empty stadiums, different conference rules and starting points, players being held out of games, etc.

09, 11, 12, 15, 17. Some speculate they could’ve won it all in 2020 but Covid made that an exhibition year, and because of the massive opt outs and that it didn’t count towards eligibility, it remains unofficial. All I remember about that season is cardboard cutouts and female kickers.
