A one loss Big 12 or Big 10 team MIGHT get the nod over Bama. Maybe.
If OU dominates from here on out, I think they are in over Bama (if LSU beats Bama).

Disagree. If we beat them they aren’t getting in.
Clemson
ND
The winner of the SEC
Oklahoma will get in if they win out

If they lose to LSU and win the rest, how are they not in.
It would be a travesty, but we've seen it before.

Btw if Michigan and Oklahoma both winout and win their championships and Bama gets in without winning their division then they playoff is gonna at expanded which is great for us in the long run.
It'll also get expanded if a 1-loss Alabama is left out. Great for them in the long run.

He's not wrong. If they lose to us and then win out I think they still get in, even if they don't play for SECC. Just like last year.

Notre Dame finishes undefeated. Michigan and Oklahoma each have one loss and are conference champs. Clemson finishes undefeated. LSU or Georgia are one loss SEC chamnps.
No way does an SEC runner up get in under that scenario. Hell they likely don't get in if 4/5 of the above happen.

The only reason I'm not so confident...2011. 11-1 Big 12 Champion OSU got left out when only 2 teams competed for the Championship. In any scenario, the SEC will be doing EVERYTHING they possibly can to get Bama in the playoff. But yeah I would hope a one loss conference champion would get in over an SEC runner up THIS TIME.

One loss LSU or Georgia SEC champ=in
One loss or undefeated Clemson ACC champ=in
One loss Michigan Big 10 champ=in
Undefeated Notre Dame=in
Honerable mention: One loss Oklahoma Big 12 champ=possibly in.
No room for Alabama if these things come to pass. They're not going to give them a mulligan two years in a row.

I'm gonna be honest. I would rather not have to beat them twice to win the title.
Posted on 10/31/18 at 3:48 pm to #1TigerFan
Maybe it's redemption for 2011? Win this one, then play them again for title and show that we don't have to go in there with the same game plan like Nick Saban won't know what to do?

It depends on how close the game is and how the game is won. If the game is like Georgia/LSU (20 point LSU win) then Bama probably does not get in. If its a very close game and/or if Bama is ahead and then their QB goes down with an injury that is not season ending, then I think Bama goes to the playoff as the 3rd or 4th ranked team. The committee showed last year that conference championships are only used to separate two teams they consider more or less equal. Bama's offense is a little better than Oklahoma's but their defense is way better. A conference championship is not going enough to get Oklahoma in over a Bama team who loses a close game to LSU at LSU at night. And the committee showed last night that they are not afraid to put a one loss team ahead of an undefeated Notre Dame if they think the one loss team is better. They'd ask themselves who they think would win if Bama and Notre Dame played and they'd probably think Bama would. Even if they didn't, would Michigan (who lost to Notre Dame) or Ohio State (who got blown out by an unranked team) go ahead of Bama? Again, are either of them equal to Bama? Michigan has a great defense but their offense is not impressive. And Ohio State is up and down on offense but their defense has been bad all year long.

People do know that if Bama loses they'll only slide back to #4 and get a bye for the SEC Championship
