Bama was the undisputed #1 team (in the polls anyway) the entire season
Ask yourself why, though. Anyone who watched this Alabama team knows that they are not nearly as good as Alabama teams over the last, say, five years. They still started at the top and stayed there all year, until the loss to Auburn.

When the 1st rankings came out, we were pretty much only playing our starters for the 1st half, and we were looking really good until injuries started to mount up during the LSU game in November.

I agree with that, I was just answering the question. If MSU was preseason #1 and went undefeated all the way until the egg bowl, and lost to an ole miss team that somehow ended up in the top 3 after the game...then maybe? Who knows.
But the question in the OP isn't really apples to apples. If MSU went undefeated THIS YEAR until ole miss then lost, then no they probably wouldn't be in. But the ole miss loss would look far worse than bama's loss to AU, not to mention they wouldn't have nearly the poll pull this year that bama did (starting in the 20s and moving up compared to being #1 all year).

Alabama was very good until they lost damn near the entire defense throughout the season. How many will return healthy by the time the playoffs start?
