Baring both of these conferences having a 2 L champ I think they are out, but we'll see.
Alabama's best shot is if the other possible team is Oregon, and if Alabama wins very convincingly at Auburn. A common opponent is a very strong data point, and Alabama would own that convincingly.
If a one-loss Oklahoma is in the mix, however, Alabama probably has no shot.

Maybe, but to this point the committee is valuing wins over Losses. That is why UGA with the better wins was over Bama with definitively a much more respectable L. Alabama was also arguably a more rounded team with that potent O, but the committee seemed to value the wins more.
I think Oregon is a threat because they were very competitive vs AU in a game played 3 months ago. Oregon could end up the season with 12 straight wins. They have said they want teams to schedule better NC opponents. Had Oregon played Sam Houston State there would be no issue... and I'm not sure this is a message the committee wants to send.

this would be completely irrelevant. Oregon would have the same amount of losses but a P5 championship which alabama would not.
Alabama's ONLY chance is for 2 p5 conferences to have champions with multiple losses. And that seems extremely unlikely.
