re: Don't fret, LSU fans...this run by Alabama will end soon...

I'm almost starting to feel sorry for Bear Bryant at this point. If Bama wins the title this year Saban will have accomplished the 3 pete Bryant never did, and will have more than one national title for every two years he's been at Bama (4/7). Bryant had slightly less one title for every four years at Bama (6/25). I sense a Saban-Bryant-Denny stadium in the future. EDIT- Though thanks to LSU, Saban has a lower SEC Championship rate, even presuming Bama wins it this year - that's "only" 3/7, as opposed to Bryant's 13/25. The SEC was smaller back then though.

I think we are splitting hairs here. Both are legends. Sure, Saban only lost less than 3 games at lsu 1 time in 5 season but he is remarkable at bama. I will point out though, that politics all play a significant role in the comparison. Saban should not have the 2011 title. That was horseshite and everyone knows it. At the same time i am not positive but would say confidently that bear claimed a title or 2 with other unbeatens the same year that have an argument. This is the problem with college football. There is never a true champion and won't be until a deep playoff is implemented like in FCS (8-16 teams). Otherwise, the most political and corrupt schools will keep claiming titles.
