If Bama can beat Clemson then OU/Georgia... the only team in the country with less losses will be UCF, assuming UCF beats Auburn. They'll deserve the national championship at that point, and we will all focus on next year. Sure, there is a little luck involved.
Let's do a hypothetical. Let's pretend this 2017 Bama team is better than they actually are. Not great, still flawed, still have a shitty QB, etc etc. But let's say they were barely good enough to win the Iron Bowl. Now let's say this better version of Bama went on to lose a nail biter to Georgia. This better Bama team would have likely been eliminated from the playoff, for having the same number of losses, and their one loss being to a better team than the one they lost to in the non-hypothetical.
O well. That's the way it is. At least they will have two games to prove their merit. If they win out, good for them.

This is one of those years where I don't think anyone should say one team is the hands on favorite.
A little luck is always needed anyway. And yeah your hypothetical brings up some good points.
Bottom line is that unless you are undefeated, you always have to have some things outside of your control happen.
This is the first year I can honestly say I think all four teams have a real shot.
