If Bama and Utah both win out, how do you justify Bama over conference champ Utah?

Not trolling.

both have 1 quality loss. Utes will have the extra quality game and a Conference championship.

What is the argument for Bama, in that scenario?

I'm not going to argue either way but acting like USC and LSU are equal losses is a bit silly. And Utah's best win will be 10-3 Oregon while Alabama's will be 8-4 Auburn (who beat Oregon). So.....I dunno.

I think most think that a 1-loss P12 winner goes over us. Last night just created a chance that a 2-loss team wins that league. Before it was guaranteed the P12 Title Winner had 1 loss and was in, now it isn't

I believe Bama is the better team but if they don’t put in Utah it would be a terrible look on the committee. Both a one loss team but one wins their conference championship game. They would be sending the message that winning the conference championship game doesn’t matter.

Now if Bama actually beaut more than one top 25 team maybe it would be different but auburn would have 5 losses after that game? Just wouldn’t look good at all.

I highly suspect Utah will go over Bama in this hypothetical to be honest.

Bama getting in over OU, you can easily justify though, because just watch OU play.

I’m really thinking Georgia wins in Atlanta and both LSU and UGA get in along with Slowhio St and Clemson. Also, will you people please quit assuming Bama is automatically winning the Iron Bowl. That usually spells doom.

I don't, no non-Conference champion has any business in the CFP.

Bama would have ZERO wins against teams with winning SEC records. And a bad loss at home where they were down by three touchdowns at half against the only team they played with a winning conference record. And their all-world QB is out. Chew on the reality of all that and then tell me how that trumps a one loss conference championship team.

No way Bama gets in over a one loss PAC12 champ. Committee chair is a PAC12 homer. He’s probably in mourning over Oregon’s collapse yesterday.

Does it really matter?

Neither can beat LSU in the 1-4 matchup.

there isn't one, and the committee would undoubtedly, without question, 100% positively have utah above them.

The better question is why do you think bama is even in consideration?

bama would make more fans watch tv and bring more fans to where ever the games are played. Why is that a question? They are picking not really the best teams but the best teams who can travel and make people turn on tv sets.

The only shot I see Bama making it in is if LSU wins out, otherwise their season ends in a Jan. 1 bowl game.

Bama is arguably one of the four best teams in college football. I do think if this is going to be an invitational very tough to select a one-loss bama over a one-loss power 5 conference champion.

Do you think Utah can beat L1-8U?
Now do you believe that Sou. Cal can beat Alabama?
If you're honest, it's easy.

I guess the committee would have to decide/debate if this current Alabama team is better than Utah.
