Would miles still be at LSU? Would Bama be the dominant program it is now?

Bama would still be dominating. One game isn't going to change that.

There is a good chance that he would be. The psychological effect that events of 2011 had on Les Miles and the LSU program aren't known because the can't really be measured. Who is to say that if OSU had won and faced LSU and LSU had blown them out that it wouldn't have sparked a dynasty for LSU?

What if West Virginia hadn't lost in 2007? Would Les Miles have even made it to 2011?

If Saban had never left for Alabama, LSU would have been the premier program in the country. I don't think a 2011 championship was going to propel LSU to a dynasty. Quarterback play was awful, even then.

You know, contrary to popular belief on here...there's no guarantee that LSU would've beaten Oklahoma State.

LSU would have had the 2011 title but I see everything else pretty much playing out the same. Miles may have earned himself an extra year or so on the back of a second title but the direction of those two programs wouldn't have been fundamentally altered by that title.
Miles would have continued to be Miles and Saban as Saban. We'd be pretty much exactly where we are today in respect to the condition of the programs.

Les would probably still be here but he would be even more hard headed than he already is. We'd have at least 2 more really frustrating Les seasons left.

LSU likely would have gone to the title in 2012 too

Those are an excellent pair of questions. I would never take a MNC off of the board even if it was tainted by Lester's ridiculously stupid strategies against inferior competition, but it might have been worth it to be done with that grass eating buffoon so much earlier.

LSU would've PROBABLY beaten them but we'll never know. Games are played for a reason.
