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

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.
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.
quote:
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
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.

As long as Auburn doesn't lose to Ole Miss or Samford, they'll be in the final Top 25. At worst they'd be 8-4 with a win over Oregon. They'll also likely be a slight favorite to beat Georgia at this point since the game is in Auburn. Auburn could very well be 9-3 with wins over Oregon and Georgia. That would put them in the Top 15.
Also, based on current SP+ rankings, here are Clemson's opponents:
#25 Texas A&M
#33 South Carolina
#45 Wake Forest
#55 North Carolina
#57 Florida State
#60 NC State
#62 Boston College
#63 Louisville
#67 Syracuse
#95 Georgia Tech
#111 Charlotte
FCS Wofford
Their best two opponents are Texas A&M and South Carolina... two teams that Bama would have also played and in all likelihood would have performed better against.
If Bama's loss is to Top 4 LSU and they have a win over #10 Auburn, you can bet there will be a debate.
