With a team like Alabama, there really is no motivation to play a hard OOC schedule anymore.
Wrong. Within the 12-team CFP, strength of schedule affects the teams' ranking/seeding. The top-4 seeds get quarter-final byes and the semi-finals at their home stadiums. So, it's smarter to schedule decent OOC opponents who have winning records to beef up your strength of schedule.

So you are worried about seeding? Who cares, just get in and then win your games. Look at TCU, they got 'in' and went to the NC. A 'seeding' spot is still not worth playing a hard OOC schedule.

If there was a 12 team playoff this year we would’ve still be 5 and TCU would’ve still been 3. Until the committee starts punishing teams for playing a terrible schedule we should do what gives us the best chance to win all of our regular season games.
