Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
According to coog duck math
Bear Bryant has 4.5 national titles so Saban has already passed him. The question is, can Saban build a lead that Meyer can't catch. Urban is younger, although he keeps trying to die from a heart attack.
It is interesting as media types today look back on Bama and Bear's national titles. It's why I have never had an issue with UW claiming all they can. Now, Bama has 10 AP titles, claims about 4 more.
Bear had three split titles and one of those he split with USC in a season where he lost to USC at Bama. Incredible. Won one before a bowl game that they went on to lose.
But he was fucking Bear Bryant.

This was a down year for OSU. I look for them to have more consistent QB play next year and win it all.
4 Nattys in 7 years, 57% (better than Peterman and Sark's combined UW W% over the same period)
Saban won his Nattys with 20 to 10 fewer scholarship players than Bear was able to carry.
Both are bad ass; Saban more so.
Then when he needed to, he brought in the black fellers and won a couple more.
Time will tell whether or not Saban builds a lead that Meyer doesn't catch. Meyer has youth on his side and is at the Alabama of the B1G, but he has yet to weather the stress of building (or re-building) a program as Saban has. Meyer inherited a ton of talent at both Florida and Ohio State. When things got tough at Florida, he freaked out and starting having "health" issues. Meyer is a great coach, he's capable of getting the most out of his players and game day coaching with the best of them, including Saban, but I think this is a LIPO situation.
