While the computers might not take margin of victory into account, they will be hurt for losing to a lower ranked team while Alabama lost to a higher ranked team.

The computers will reassess the teams every week. They are not static rankings. Bama will get points for beating what will be a highly ranked Arkansas team, but the loss to LSU will now hurt more. Further, LSU will be rewarded more for beating Bama if they finish at 11-1.
In the eyes of the computers, LSU will have the worst loss, followed by Arkansas and then Bama. Inversely, Arkansas will have the best win, followed by LSU, then Bama. That all comes out in the wash. LSU has the considerable advantage when it comes to OOC games, highlighted by the Oregon win, which will end up being the next best win among the teams and will keep LSU with the edge.

And how far did Bama Fall in the polls? So why should LSU fall very far if they were to loss to a #3 ranked team?

The advantage of playing the tough schedule just might pay off.
