I'd argue it's the worst game in our history PERIOD.
It's really hard to imagine just how different things would have been.
1) We'd have throttled OSU in the NCG. Yup...we'd have bludgeoned them with our boring, predictable offense...but it would have happened.
2) A second NC instead of an embarrassing loss gets reflected in a few extra recruits and national prestige over the next year or so which might very well translate into a few extra wins or a play here or there.
Of course, the Miles legacy here would have ended differently with 2 Titles.
Eventually, Saban would have caught us and surpassed us...he's that good and his set up in BAMA has just got too many inherent advantages but it would have taken longer and we'd have likely been in a better position when it finally happened...and would likely have better replaced him when he left.

You could argue that 2 PLAYS could have changed the course of recent history. The missed FG by OSU is the first one, the Yeldon TD in the 2012 Bama game is the 2nd. Without those 2 plays, it's probable at the end of the 2012 season LSU would have won back to back SEC and National Championships. If that happens, perhaps the flow of top end talent out of the state doesn't begin to ramp up, and conversely the reverence of Bama nationally doesn't occur.
Sadly, we'll never know
