Both teams in the subject line owe the 2014 Buckeyes a debt of gratitude. Ohio State's early-season, home field loss to Virginia Tech last year, was likely, revolutionary...paving the way for many one-loss champs, in the future.

That noted, obviously the Trojans' good loss to Stan holds more value than the Tide's loss to the Rebels. It will be a tougher slog for Alabama to reach the SEC CG. Actually, this might be the year the SEC beats itself out of contention for the CFP NCG.
