Funny that that wasn't the criteria back in 2011 when Okie State played more ranked teams then bama but got screwed out of the national championship because they lost to Iowa State.
Played a tougher schedule and won their conference but all that mattered that year was them losing to lowly Iowa State. Bama didn't win their conference much less their division, but again, all that mattered was the loss to the Cyclones.
You're probably right about that being the case for this year though. Whatever works in favor of bama.

I just looked up the 2011 records. Bama beat 4 top-25 teams and lost to the number 1 team in the country, LSU, by 3 in overtime. OkSt also beat 4 top-25 teams and lost, also in overtime, but by 6, to a 5-4 unranked team who was 2-4 in their conference as of game-time with OkSt.
Bama's 2011 results
OkSt's 2011 results
So, what are you talking about?
