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 15 wins.


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?

Because a 1-loss LSU would have a much stronger resume due to their Texas and Florida wins plus their loss being close and on the road.

Alabama would basically just have a win over fringe Top 25 4-loss Auburn.

Normally I'd say no, no argument, but Clemson's schedule this year will end up being the equivalent of UCF's in 2017. They will and probably should get the benefit of the doubt, but LSU will have such an incredibly stronger resume (even with 1 loss) it won't even be close.
