You can post all you want, BAMA is in before USCe or Ole Myth.
You were the one that posted the graphic showing what the supposed criteria was.
And i responded that based on that criteria, that Ole Miss should clearly be in over Alabama.
So if you can, go ahead and - USING the criteria you posted - make your best case that Bama should be in…..
But instead, your retort is that you know the biased and incompetent selection committee will once again give your team an undeserved mulligan based on branding and TV ratings.

It’s actually 11 of the top 12 teams that do not lose that game by three TDs, but one does.

LSU didn’t lose by 21-points to an unranked team in the second to last week of the 2007 season.
No one that loses ro Arkansas and Kentucky deserves to play for a title. See how that works?

It doesn’t “work”. That would be like me saying that no team that loses to Vanderbilt should play for a title. Or to not make this Bama & LSU centric, no team that loses to NORTHERN ILLINOIS should play for the title.
Indiana lost by 23 to Ohio State. What makes that game different than Bama’s loss to Oklahoma is not the name Ohio State or it’s history, it’s the fact that the Buckeyes were at that time ranked in the top 5 (and are still top ten).
Oklahoma’s name and prestige is higher than Vanderbilt’s…so does that make Bama’s loss to the Commodores “worse”? Not in the context of this season.

How many more fans does Alabama send to the playoff game than number 13? This is simple.
USC?
Probably less.

What was Kentucky's ranking?

Fwiw - I’d argue that “without incenting margin of victory” doesn’t preclude looking at whether it was a “close game” vs. clear victory in judging the outcome.
That's pretty much what the exact definition of "incenting margin of victory" would be
I honestly think those are great points in favor of Ole Miss over Bama, but it looks like they specifically said they will not factor that in. As to whether they do or not behind closed doors? Who knows

In my mind at least, I would argue that it refers to the purely numerical margin, and nothing is gained by simply “running up the score” such as Ohio State scoring late vs Indiana to win by 23 instead of 16.
I believe they’ve used the term “game control”
In the past.

Because those corporate types that run these things really want the University of South Carolina at Notre Dame with their stories football history and national following over the unknown team from Alabama,
