Even if Wisconsin loses.. it's set up to let Ohio St. and Wisconsin trade spots. Ohio St. is ranked #8 but if Clemson wins they're really sitting next to Alabama at #6 by virtue of Miami and Georgia falling.

Before we even consider Ohio States Top-5 win and Big10 championship in this scenario.. the ranking really looks like:
1) Clemson
2) Auburn/Georgia
3) Oklahoma
4) Alabama (Did not win division, spot is not locked in)
5) Ohio St (Beat #4 and is Big10 champ, spot is not locked in)

You don't think Ohio St. moves up just 1 spot in the ranking after beating a top-4 team and winning the Big10?

It just doesn't seem likely Bama gets in unless both Wisconsin and Oklahoma lose..

Wrong. You are totally ignoring that OSU has two losses that are both worse than Bama's 1 loss. OSU and Bama will both be 3-1 vs top 25. OSU's 15 pt loss to OU and 31 pt loss to Iowa cannot be ignored. Quality wins matter but losses matter just as much, especially bad ones. The Iowa loss is a BAD one.

It's a terrible loss. You're ignoring that Ohio St played a MUCH harder schedule though.

Bama is 0-1 against the top-10
Ohio St is 2-1 against the top-10
