The only way they don't is if there are other 11-1 teams, which I'm not smart enough to figure out if that is even possible.

11-1 Alabama gets in, easily.


Alabama cannot be SEC champs as you stated unless Ole Miss loses. Therefore, they do not control their own destiny.

There is no conference champion tie in, so based on what we've seen, you certainly do control your own playoff destiny.

If you're guarding against the slim possibility you get left out and heartbroken, I get that, but practically speaking, Bama controls its own destiny.

This is incorrect.

We do control our destiny. The committee stated they don't look at the team's as conferences they look at them as individuals, then look at their bodies of work.

If Alabama (we) win out, we'd have beaten an undefeated #1 ranked Miss State and a top-ten Auburn. Both ranked above us and both falling moving us up to at worst 4th.

Besides I strongly doubt Oregon (very overrated) win out. I don't even think FSU wins out and if they lose, even one? They gone (unless we all lose two).
