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.

You're forgetting about that "eye test" thing. Not to mention all the metrics you reference which would all undoubtedly favor Bama over clemson.

Exactly. Which is why its ridiculous you and everyone else are acting like an 11-1 Bama team would not be in the discussion over a 13-0 Clemson.
Of course Bama fans and the talking heads will say its ridiculous now, but you know as well as me than when the moment comes there would be a gigantic debate and the fact that Clemson would not have a single win over a ranked team.... and because they went to OT with North Carolina.... Bama would end up getting the last spot.
If anyone here were honest they'd just go ahead and admit it. But that's exactly what will happen, and the UCF reference you mentioned will be in everyone's rationale.
