While most SEC fans like to think OM wouldn't have gotten in

because they wouldn't have. A team with two blowout losses was not getting in over 1 loss Ohio State and probably not over 2 loss Stanford either. Alabama would have had a better overall resume as well. You lost the payoffs when you got blown out by Memphis, not when you blew a 4th and 25 against Arkansas. 4th and 25 probably cost you an SEC Title and definitely cost you your first trip to Atlanta. You're making a huge leap to say it cost you a national title.
