re: Could Bama still be left out with a win over MSU?

If there is a bias in their rankings it is against the SEC not UA. I could see them somewhat appeasing the masses outside the SEC to not have 2 teams in the top four from the SEC. TCU has done enough to keep UA( a 2nd SEC team) out of the top four. The committee also knows what we all know as well that if UA or MSU wins out we are in. They also know all of our top teams being in the west will hurt 2 teams making in.

The real concern for the SEC is if the east wins in Atlanta
