This ESPN hates LSU has to stop. When your number one you will always be the story good or bad, just deal with it or stop looking up shite on ESPN. Did they change Gunner ranking after he committed? or did ESPN just know he was coming to LSU and gave him a lower ranking based on that?

NOW is what matters. Da Bear is gone, and most of those wins were from that very different era. Bama, ND, USC, Ohio State and Michigan no longer enjoy the recruiting advantages of being the best shot for recruits to get on television, The playing field in that regard has leveled out. I'll take a team loaded with Louisiana talent over a team that shares Alabama talent with another in-state SEC school any day. Right now, "any day" is 1/9/2012.

Bama is 47-6 in the last 4 yrs including 1 NC and another appearance coming up. LSU is 41-11 with 1 NC appearance coming. Its not Bryant from 30 yrs ago. This is NOW. Saban has played LSU while at Bama 5 times and he's 2-3. I wouldn't call that dominance by LSU. If you win the next one it will be 3 in a row and that would start tipping the scale but that's for discussion after Jan 9. Its pretty even right NOW.

ESPN only has 9 5*'s. That's a really low number. Rivals usually has 25-35.
ESPN 150

Another reason we feel ESPN hates LSU........

There's no hate to it on the recruiting front, ESPN just has no freaking clue. Have you actually watched the ESPNU recruiting show? I could take two crackheads off the street, thow a rock between 'em and get more meaningful information.

It's actually EXTREMELY even since Bryant left 30 years ago.
LSU Leads 15-14-1
Both teams have two NCs
LSU has 6 SECCs to Bama's 4
Both teams have gone through their worst periods in the programs' histories.
