So beating a Big 10 division leading Penn State on the road in front of 101K opposing fans, is not as big of a win as a victory as beating a team with a losing record on a neutral site? Come on, man.
I stated that Bama has an advantage in OOC wins. My point was that this advantage is minimal, which it is, and it shouldn't outweigh the first 3 reasons why Arkansas should be ranked in the top 2.

It's as if you are under the impression you played a close game to Bama. You didn't. You got HANDLED by 24 points.
That did happen. Arkansas lost to Bama.
What also happened:
-Bama lost to LSU
-In this hypothetical, Arkansas beats LSU.
-Bama got both games at home, Arky got both on the road.
-Arkansas finished the season on a 8 game winning streak with win @ #1, Bama finishes on a 3 game winning streak.
-Bama and Arkansas are both 11-1.
-Arkansas faced one of the two ranked teams from the East and beat them, Bama didn't.

Alot of people who watched your game with Vandy consider that a loss....

So did Auburn.
If anyone wants to look at common opponents, as they often do when comparing Bama and LSU, they will see that (other than MSU) Bama dramatically outplayed the common opponents.
You squeaked by Ole Miss (Bama won by 45) and Vandy (Bama won by 34).
