The whole push for the playoffs came after that 2011 season when a lot of people were whining about Bama getting to play in the BCSCG despite not winning the conference. If Bama wins out and doesn't win the SEC I don't think Bama makes the playoff. One of the knocks against Baylor/TCU for the not making the playoffs last year was not having a conf. title game and a definite conf champ. I know a lot of Bama fans assume that if Bama wins out they're in but I definitely don't think that's certain unless OM loses.

A few things would have to happen, a few teams would have to lose 1 or 2 more games, but the scenario of us making the playoff without winning our conference is very much so possible, IMO.
