re: CFP Scenario

In that scenario, Bama may be in. The argument would flow out:

Is Bama better than OSU? Absolutely not
Is Bama better than Cinc? Likely yes
Is Bama better than ND? Likely yes

Then they'll have to go with the "deserves" argument.

Does Cincy deserve to be in? Yes
Does ND deserve to be in? Probably not.

Bama could get in with 2 losses. It is possible.

But .... what other one loss teams are there who won their conference that haven't been mentioned? Oklahoma St? Would be hard to keep them out also.

Only the CFB committee knows.
