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

Normally I'd say no, no argument, but Clemson's schedule this year will end up being the equivalent of UCF's in 2017.
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.

But they'd favor LSU a lot more. And to actually pull the trigger on something like this it would have to be astronomically different in terms of resumes.

But Alabama's not going to have any wins if we lose to LSU. The gap won't be big enough.
LSU would have a significant gap with Clemson AND their only loss would be a very close road loss to Alabama.
All that combined would give 11-1 LSU much more of a shot than 11-1 Alabama.

But I'm not sure we'd have a win over a ranked team either. Our schedule would be better, but we wouldn't have enough juice in it to truly create a controversy.
LSU would.
