Because the other two teams got the rest, you would have been left out. I know this is a hard topic for you. Do you guys count the losses as wins since you beat yourself?

Dude be logical. If Bama got in over a P5 conference champ when they didn't even win their division, why wouldn't they get in over the MWC champs after winning out and beating the number 2 team in the nation? I'm sure Bama would have received a good bit of 1st place votes if they had won out.

This is all hypothetical because we lost 3 games that year.

But IF our only loss was to South Carolina on Oct 9, 2010, we won out and won the SEC Championship. Alabama would of played for the NC that year and got in over TCU.

Alabama would have beaten 6 ranked team, including the #2 team at the time Auburn, and their only lost would of been to a top 20 team in the regular season.

TCU would have beaten 2 ranked teams.

TCU didn't play in a conference championship game.

Alabama would have played in a conference championship game. And, hypothetical of course, would have played and beat the team they lost to earlier in the year SC.

So a 1 loss SEC Champion, whose only lose was to a top 20 team, and who they beat when they played again. Verses a Mountain West team with 2 wins over ranked teams and no conference championship game.

Once again, If Alabama would have won out after the SC loss, they would of played for the National Championship.

I know this is hard for you to understand after getting left out, and rightfully so, in 04. But that's how it would of happen.
