Will Smilodon ever rule again?

So the saber tooth cat is one of the most successful mammals to live. This is the first time in 11 million years that we haven't had a saber tooth cat. But some say that eventually, in about 7 million, we will have another one. What do you guys think?

 

The trait may or may not appear and it may or may not be selected for depending on the conditions of the ecosystem of the time. I'm not sure how people can give even rough estimates of when that could happen. The farther you go in time the higher are the chances that the trait will appear, but at the same time your understanding of the conditions in which trait owner will live decreases dramatically. So it's just a guessing game. Maybe Megalodon-alike will re-appear in 5 million years, you never know :)
