But, that is going to change (given the scenario painted)

1) Bama will play Ga Southern...that will hurt them

2) Penn State (yuck) is going to lose at least 2 games, perhaps 3

3) Arky will have lost to LSU (relax Arky...I am going with the scenario in the OP: LSU is #1 team)

4) Oregon will have beaten Stanford and won a PAC-12 CG



And, Florida plays South Carolina and Florida State, which are two likely losses.

At the end of the season, I doubt Penn State is still ranked (I think they lose the next three games), and I also think Arkansas will be ranked around 10-11.

The most impressive wins Alabama will have (in my scenario) is a win over 10-2 Arkansas and unranked Auburn (who will have 4 or 5 losses) and Penn State.

Oregon would have a win over a one-loss Stanford ranked in the top 10 (assuming, in this scenario, that Oregon beats Stanford).

But... this only takes into account the strength of schedule. I think most voters would give Bama the benefit of the doubt over Oregon if it comes down to those two teams.

But... I think the voters give a one-loss Oklahoma with a win over a one-loss Oklahoma State the benefit over Bama...

just my relativetly worthless two cents.
