Hypothetically, if Bama were to lose to UGA do you think that they are a lock to get in? I say no because they aren’t their conference champion, which as we know, holds weight in the eye of the Committee.
If both OU and OSU win next week then my top 6 would look like this: 1. Clemson, 2.ND, 3.UGA 4. OSU 5. OU 6. Bama. *Note that 4 and 5 are interchangeable based on committee preference.
And quite frankly, if you don’t win your conference and you have the same amount of wins and losses as a power 5 conference champ you should be left out. Also, it’s not that outlandish bc it happened to us in 2015.
