The voting should rank teams based on how well they played. Only if they think OSU would beat Bama should they rank them higher. Anything else is biased, dishonest and contrary to the rules.
No, actually, I don't believe those are the written "rules".

This is not the NFL but even in your scenario, if the loser of the packers/49ers regular season game had no other losses, they would still make the playoffs and if both continued to win, they would eventually face the team that beat them. And the winner would go on regardless of what happened in the regular season.
No. There is no post-season playoff Division I. There is a single championship game. The regular season acts as a "playoff" in a sense.

Voters are supposed to vote based on each teams performance to date and how impressive they've been. They are not supposed to consider previous years' performances, teams' reputations or other criteria such as conference alignment. They just rank teams based on how well or how poorly they've performed. I'm too tired to look up the link but I have read it more than once. So based on that, whether a ranking puts a team in or outside an NC game, whether or not they won their conference, or whether it results in a rematch should not be considered because none of that is an honest reflection of a teams performance. Even a pitiful 6 loss team might win a weak conference. Based on the written voting instructions, I don't see how anyone could vote OSU over Alabama. Alabama only had 1 close game and that was LSU. OSU struggled with Texas A&M (a team Arkansas beat). OSU clearly lacks the defense needed to win a national championship. Otherwise, they would have stopped Iowa State, off game or not. Bama would have - off game or not.
