Anyone who thinks they'll get left out again at 11-1 is fooling themselves.
These discussions are silly when you leave out who the other competition was for the final spot. This year, if things hold, it will be two different 12-1 conference champions. In 2017 it was a 2-loss conference champion with a 30 point loss to a 5 loss team.
It's not the same.
WG Dawg has presented the case as perfectly as can be presented about 100 times.

Yes, and all the talking heads are already starting to pave the way that Alabama's "eye test" is better than Oregon or Oklahoma. No one is saying that the only way Bama gets in is if all other conference champs have 2 losses. No one.

at this point when I come into work for the day I just assume that I'm going to post that link again at least 3 or 4 times throughout the day. It's maddening that this "don't pay attention to facts" disease has become so widespread. Even more concernign is that kyle is typically one of the better posters here and always brings facts, but he's ate up with it too at the moment.

Also, just for comparative purposes
Strength of Record - After Regular Season
2014 Ohio State - #6
2015 Alabama - #2
2016 Ohio State - #2
2017 Alabama - #4
The only team out of those that had a Resume Ranking outside the Top 4 was 2014 Ohio State.
Fast forward to current
2019 Alabama - #6
2019 Oregon - #8
2019 Baylor - #9
2019 Utah - #10
2019 Oklahoma - #12
Alabama only has Auburn left. If things hold chalk the 1 loss teams out of Oregon/Utah and OU/Baylor will probably have #4/#5 SOR and Alabama will still be around #6.
We won't get in unless Oklahoma has 2 losses/Baylor wins the BXII or the Pac XII team has 2 losses.
