I'm just having a really hard time seeing Alabama in over Oregon with Oregon only having a heart breaking loss to Auburn in the last seconds of the game. A flukish loss to some extent.
The committee did nothing to hinder the gumps chance to get in. If they win out and if Georgia loses either to Auburn or LSU they are in. Remember 2014 when TCU fell from #3 to #6 in the final poll and Ohio State jumped from #6 to #3 despite not winning the B1G.
So Oregon destroys all their remaining opponents, including a top 7 Utah, you've got Alabama penciled in ahead of 12-1 Oregon, with only a last second loss to Auburn?
