OSU would get murdered. Who, on their 100+ ranked defense is going to stop Trent Richardson? Lulz, it'd be embarrassing. Bama's pass D should be able to get a couple punts in a shootout. OK St, no way no how no chance against Bama's O-Line + Heisman winner (Trent Richardson IF Luck is shunned).
Iowa St ran all over OK State so think of that game magnified by 100 vs Richardson. It'd be ugly. IOWA FCKING STATE.
EDIT: 190-FCKING-TWO rushing yards by IOWA FCKING STATE.

Trent would be drooling to play them.
The only thing, like I said before, worthy of seeing with OK ST vs LSU is LSU's susceptibility to good aerial attacks like when WVU absolutely lit them up for 450+, and considering that Holgorson (WVU) taught Weeden (OK St) that offense last year.
OSU's defense is ranked 61st, not 100+. And even at that point, way underrated. Lets see what the OSU defense has done throughout the year when facing top 25 offenses in some category.
Arizona - 3rd in passing yards. They gave up nothing in the first half, harassed Foles all night, held them to 41 yards rushing, and didn't give up a passing TD til garbage time in the 4th quarter.
Tulsa - 24th rushing, 41st passing. In a super late game not starting til after midnight, they held Tulsa to 2 FGs in the first half, had the game in the bag up 45-6 with 9 minutes left in the 3rd quarter before their substitutes gave them 4 TDs while their starters napped on the sidelines.
Texas A&M - 18th passing, 21st rushing. Had a pretty shaky first half, giving up 20 while the offense had major struggles and only got a field goal. In the second half they came out to play, got 4 takeaways, made stops when they needed to, and preserved the comeback by only giving up 7 in the second half
Texas - 19th rushing. Picked off of Ash twice, got another fumble, and held the Longhorns to 24 points with over 39 minutes of possession
Missouri - 12th rushing. Picked off Franklin 3 times, rolled to an easy win
Baylor - 5th passing, 18th rushing. Probably the best performance of the season against the best, most balanced offense they faced. A first half shutout, only a FG in the 3rd, against one of the nations best offense and its best player? Giving griffin only his 3rd and 4th interception of the season, and recovering 3 more fumbles? An awesome performance here, through and through.
Texas Tech - 6th passing. A shutout (TT's 6 points came from OSU's offense, they even stopped the 2pt conversion. Not only that, Texas Tech Never even made it to the red zone. Kept Doege 175 yards under his average
Oklahoma - 4th passing. I think we all know what happened last night.
Oklahoma State's D gets a bad rep because of its style. Bend but don't break philosophy is rather a lot different than the traditional SEC style. Not to mention that OSU has been #1-5 pretty much all year in takeaways and turnover margin.
A lot of people talk about how many yards they give up, but that too has an explanation. The average scoring offense ranking of teams on OSU's schedule? ~37th in the FBS. The average ranking of the offenses LSU and Alabama have faced? 67th for LSU and 76th for Alabama. It's pretty easy to keep people out of the end-zone when the teams you play don't have much offense at all.
But probably moreso telling of why OSU gives up lots of yards? Their defense simply plays way more than others. They've played over 396 minutes through 12 games. Alabama's D? 328 minutes. OSU's defense has played 2 long games more than Bama.
