Alabama is actually a pretty flawed team this year. I don't think there is any way they get in, even with your above scenario. Needed Michigan and Ohio State to both lose today (and both were very close) to even get a sniff of Bama being mentioned. TCU with one loss will get in over Bama imo, as I actually don't think the powers that be are that enamored with the Tide this year.You all know what's coming right? A two loss Alabama team that didn't make their conference title game/win their division will be in the playoffs. Bookmark this post.
Michigan will lose at Ohio State
Tennessee is out
One loss by USC (which I believe will happen) and they're out
Clemson could win out but their schedule against Alabama's isn't as good
LSU will have three losses after the title game.
