Wrong. We lose a close one to bama..win the rest..they stay undefeated..no question we make the final 4

with only a 4-team playoff, I seriously doubt the committee will put in 2 teams from the same conference, unless it's a very unique situation. Even if the teams are deserving, I think the pressure on the committee will be too much. Remember, one Power 5 team already gets left out. Two teams from one conference would mean 2 Power 5 teams are left out. I just don't think the committee is going to do that, absent extreme circumstances.

I agree, if we finish 11-1 with a close loss to Bama and they win the conference, we clearly have a very strong argument for being one of the 4 best teams.

But my point is more based on the political pressure the committee will be under, rather than whether we'd actually be deserving of a playoff bid.
