If the situation was the same in the middle of the field (away from the sidelines) and as the ball is fumbled, the LSU player placed two hands on the ball, then a bama player fell on the ball and pulled the ball into his chest, who does the possession go to?
LSU. This happens all the time. Just because a player rips the ball away from a player who has possession and is down, doesn't mean he gets the ball.

Wrong. It would be bama ball. If my hands are on it and you fall onto the ball, pull it into your chest, and curl up in the fetal position. Who possess the ball? The first person to touch it or the one who possess it?
This is why there's rarely replay for fumble possession. Most fumble replay is only to determine if a player is down prior to fumbling.
Think about how many fumbles you've witnessed where you perceived one team to possess the ball, only to see them opposite team come out of the pulled with the ball? Do the refs ever review that? NO. and you want to know why? Because simply touching the ball with both hands is not possession.
