In his years with us, Nick Saban showed us that LSU can achieve at that very high level.
After wiping your chin, you really need to check W/L of Saban's seasons at LSU.

Do the younger people here know or remember that winning games is not always like getting a root canal; winning games can be a lot of fun?
Actually, since LSU donned facemasks, Miles has the season with largest avg MOV.
The elders on here remember many more painful wins and losses than the few in last 10yrs or so.

I gotta agree with most of the replies here about recruiting being propped by skill positions.
Bama, tOSU and some others are more talented across all positions, 2 deep.

Look Mayhawman, before you go shooting your mouth off, let's think about the thing behind the thing. I'm not talking about consistent 10 win seasons; I'm referring to the kind of stress on excellence, execution, performance, fundamentals, intensity, etc. that Saban instilled in the team. Yes, high moment was 2003, no doubt. But overall, LSU was an intimidating team under Nick Saban, win or lose. It wasn't just the talent that made LSU intimidating - it was coaching philosophy. You don't think so, then your memory chip is faulty. Under Les Miles, LSU started off that way and mostly kept its edge until 1/9/12 when we got fully and irrevocably exposed because CLM got his coaching arse handed to him by Nick and his intimidating Tide.

Oh, and in case you're wondering, I know CLM produced plenty of 10+ win seasons. But the quality of those wins was not always high; there are many, many references by others who also watch the Tigers that quite of few of those wins over the Miles years have been like what I called root canals. Not fun.
