How college football could look if Urban Meyer never left the Florida Gators

So what if Urban Meyer hadn’t left Florida?
What if, right?
Life in the south would be completely different. Florida would still be winning national championships, and Will Muschamp would’ve never been in a head coach in the SEC.
Ohio State would still be Ohio State, perhaps without their last national title. They could’ve hired Malzahn, but who knows if he would’ve gone north to Columbus. They could’ve been stuck with some no-namer, or Luke Fickell, but at least they didn’t hire Brady Hoke.
Florida State would still be Florida State, but Florida would rule the state and the recruits in it. The Gators and Seminoles rivalry would likely be raised to the level of the Iron Bowl, but that didn’t happen.
Will Muschamp could’ve become the head coach of Texas, but would he still be the head coach there? He could’ve coached somewhere else, maybe Miami, but for now, he’s doing what he does best, coaching the defense at Auburn.
Asking ‘what if…’ keeps life fun, and without the hypotheticals, sports wouldn’t be the same.
