There is no real gap between Ohio St and Bama in the polls right now. It's an illusion. The teams in front of them play and someone has to lose.. effectively puts Bama/Ohio St at #4 and #5.. with Ohio St having bad losses but much better wins and a tougher schedule.
You are letting your LSU fandom get in the way of reason.
Say Ohio State wins by 3 on Saturday.
Does that win cancel out a 31 point loss? Hell no.
But, for shits and giggles, lets say it does.
Then you have to look at the other losses by each team.
Alabama would have lost by 12 to the #2 ranked team on the road.
Ohio State would have lost by 15 to the #3 ranked team at home.
Which is the worst loss?

Obviously the loss to Iowa is horrible.
There's a reason Bama fans are talking about losses though (Bama played no one).. if Ohio State beats Wisconsin:
Bama 0-1 vs Top 10
Ohio St 2-1 vs Top 10

Bama’s only “quality win” lost to Troy, regardless of if the committee keeps MSU and fvcking Fresno State at the back end of the Top 25 so Bama can play the “we’re 3-1 vs ranked teams” card.
Haha.

Correct. The chair of the committee even said this.
quote:
College Football Playoff committee chairman Kirby Hocutt said there is "very little separation" in the committee's eyes between No. 5 Alabama, No. 6 Georgia, No. 7 Miami and No. 8 Ohio State.

That's one set of metrics. One important metric that you are ignoring because you are letting your Alabama fandom get in the way is that Ohio State will be Big 10 Champs and Alabama would not have even made it to the SEC Championship game.
Will the committee/voters decide to put 2 SEC teams in the playoff and leave out the Big 10 champ because of a subjective comparison of losses?
Maybe the answer is yes, but I think it is just as likely many members of the committee view the Big 10 championship as a play-in game meaning Bama is out.
We'll just have to see.
