re: How different would the programs be if ok state hadn't lost in 2011?

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.
