The only way Bama makes the playoffs is if TCU beats Oklahoma.

I really don't see how everyone thinks Bama is a lock...
If the 4 teams in front of them win, Bama is certainly not in.
Winner of SEC championship is in, period.
If Miami beats Clemson, Miami will likely leap-frog Bama. (Better win than Bama had all season and same amount of losses and would have the ACC Championship)
If Ohio State beats Wisconsin, they'll likely leap-frog Bama. Ohio State has better wins this year than Bama, plus they would have the Big 10 Championship)
So, really, the only scenario where Alabama is almost guaranteed a spot in the playoffs is for TCU to beat Oklahoma, which is very unlikely. And even then, the committee might have a hard time not looking at the fact that TCU just beat Oklahoma and won the Big 12 Championship.
I just don't see Bama making it into the playoffs.

They just hand gifted us ranked wins that should not exist and put Auburn with 2 losses at #2
They have told you that we will be in the playoffs but you are retarded

The way ESPN is talking Clemson can lose to Miami and still be in the playoff and Alabama really doesn't have a shot in he'll with such an easy schedule

Which is funny.. SDSU plays in the same conference as Fresno St. and is 10-2 (beat Stanford).. but unranked.. yet 9-3 Fresno St. is ranked (for now).
Before we even consider Ohio States Top-5 win and Big10 championship in this scenario.. the ranking really looks like:
1-3) ACC winner, SEC winner, Oklahoma
4) Alabama (Did not play)
5) Ohio St (Beat #4 and is Big10 champ)
You don't think Ohio St. moves up just 1 spot in the ranking after beating a top-4 team and winning the Big10?
There is no real gap between Ohio St and Bama in the polls. It's an illusion. The teams in front of them will lose and it effectively puts Bama/Ohio St at #4 and #5.

Nope. B/c they lost by 31 freaking points to a 7-5 team. This isn't LSU losing to UK in OT in 2007. This is a 31 point arse kicking in which they quit.
You know there is no way you could see Bama losing by 31 to anyone, let alone an average 7-5 team.
I don't know if Bama deserves to be in or not, but I 100% know OSU doesn't. That loss that bad (combined with a 15 point loss at home) should disqualify them.

I’m not gonna argue Bama deserves to be in because their schedule was indeed pretty weak. But it’s not their fault Florida St, Ole Miss, Arky, TAMU, and Tennessee sucked arse. Schedules are made years in advance and who would’ve ever thought the Semenholes for a 6-6 team? As far as the SEC teams, you have to play the teams in your conference and every single one of those teams were worse this year than last. Not Bama’s fault they couldn’t get their shite together.

Also they put OSU in last year and they got embarrassed in the game. Won't do it again for them to get embarrassed again

Why would Bama be more deserving than a 12-1 Big-10 runner up Wisconsin if that's what you believe?

Yeah, so many want to keep glossing quickly over just how bad Ohio State's loss to Iowa was.
That loss is unprecedented in the Playoff Committee or even BCS era for a "title contender"
There have been blowout losses before and losses to unranked teams but never both combined that I recall.
For example, Not a single team even those just getting votes in the AP or Coaches Poll has lost by 30+ points to an unranked team. Not even one.
Also, this wasn't some early season loss or unusual circumstance.
It was just a absolute butt kicking at the hands of a mediocre team in November!
Can anyone even think of any team that's finished in the Top5 or even Top10 that has a 30+ point loss to an unranked team in recent memory?

You're totally ignoring that OSU has TWO losses that are both worse than Bama's 1 loss. OSU and Bama will both be 3-1 vs top 25. OSU's 15 pt loss to OU and 31 pt loss to Iowa cannot be ignored. Quality wins matter but losses matter just as much, especially bad ones. The Iowa loss is a TERRIBLE LOSS.

Bama's resume would be superior to 12-1 Wisconsin.
