3. Player development

No. 1 + No. 2 = No. 3.

Recruiting talented players only gets you so far. It's what's happened with that talent that's allowed both teams to flirt with or win a national championship more often than they don't.

Since 2009, Alabama's had 41 players selected in the NFL Draft. More than half were first- or second-round picks.

Guess how many LSU's had in that time span. 41.

Wow.

Bama and LSU are typically the top 2 in the country in recruiting, so it's no surprise. CNS and CLM do a fantastic job of scarfing up the top talent in the nation. That's why the games between them are so much fun to watch.
