This is my thinking as well.


All of these are conference champions, yet Alabama didn't win their side of the conference, let alone the actual conference.

I realize tOSU has 2 losses but the conference championship has to mean something, otherwise why even play the game?


It was a winner take all with Auburn a week ago, Auburn took it. Bama left out, it should be that simple. If Alabama sneaks in, that's a huge pile of garbage to conference championships, regardless of conference.

(Don't misunderstand, I'm not saying that if you win the conference, you're in automatically, see USC. However, depending on where the teams playing for the championships are ranked, if they're close to being at least #4, they could jump those that do not play for a conference championship, in this case Alabama)
