If LSU wins a close game at Bama and finishes 13-0 after the SECCG and that is Bamas only loss:

I’ll ban bet that they (Bama) get in over a 1 loss PAC 12 champ Oregon or a 1 loss Big 10 champ Wisconsin.

And I'll take you up on that because it's not happening. People, mainly LSU fans, seem to think bama has some kind of hex over the committee wiht a lifetime free pass. The only year they've made it that was a question at all was in '17 when the team they were battling for the 4th spot had 2 losses. One of which btw was a 30 point shellacking to iowa in the most embarrassing loss of the season. If you've got:

12-1 Pac12 Champ Oregon, only loss in week 1 to AU
12-1 Big10 Champ UW, bad loss to Illinois but win over Ohio State
11-1 Bama, non conf or division champion

there is no justification to put them in. They would have the best loss, but who would be their best win? Auburn, that may have 4 losses?
