CarbonCamaroZL1 4 Alabama unfortunately still makes the Final Four due to only having one loss, a 10 pointer to Auburn. That being said, they are not the elite team this season. There are no true elite teams apart from the Top 2.

f0gax 5 I won't be surprised one bit if the committee puts Bama in at four. But as noted in the OSU commentary, I don't think they should. That said I'll now attempt to make some counter arguments that could explain why Bama could get in. Again, it goes back to the Iowa loss for OSU. Iowa finished 7-5 and third in their division (B1G West). Alabama's two cross division opponents (Vandy and Tenn) were sixth and seventh in their division. So we can't make an apples-to-apples comparision. Iowa was 7-5 (4-5), the closest conference opponent for Bama was aTm at 7-5 (4-4). On the one hand, Bama beat their "Iowa Equivalent". On the other, Iowa has what appears to be a better resume as compared to aTm (I didn't do a deep dive on this). As it turns out, I still can't find a good on-field reason to put Bama in over Ohio State. When all is said and done, I expect that the decision will come down to what a P5 conference championship means. Is it enough to "cancel out" a bad loss? And based on what I've seen, I think UGA would have beaten Bama in the SECCG. So does the committee talk about that? If so, and if they come to the same conclusion, that should disqualify Bama. Either way, I think the final margin will be razor thin.
