The better question would be if Alabama beats LSU in a close one, LSU wins out and Florida and Texas finish strong.
LSU's only loss would be on the road to a Top 2-3 team and they'd have 2-3 Top 20 wins (Texas, Florida, Auburn). I'd guess they'd be ahead of Clemson in pretty much every Strength of Record type metric in that case and could easily argue they played 3-4 teams better than Clemson's best opponent AND their only loss was to a team much much better than anyone Clemson even played.

So you're saying a team that doesn't win its division would have an argument of getting in over a team that went undefeated and won its Conference Championship?
Then if you think LSU could do it, why would you think Bama couldn't?
