ETA: And based off of the "who was better" argument, many of the TV media still think Alabama is better than LSU; they just don't have an excuse to vote them that way now. If LSU loses to Georgia, the door opens. We'll just have to see how wide.
How so, when lsu was the unanimous number 1 before and after the game?
Most of the bias you are hearing is coming from espn. They have a huge viewership stake.

Not before the game.
After the game, of course no one will vote Bama over LSU. But as that game gets further and further in the past, and LSU drops a game, I could definitely see some voters ranking Alabama over LSU.
We'll just have to see.

When it's all said and done and Oklahoma beats OSU then they will be choosing between a one loss
Oklahoma
Alabama
Oregon
Lsu
We already beat 2 out of 3
Although if arky beats us then beats Georgia they could go and het beat in the NC and end our winning streak

If LSU wins out, we'll play the winner of the OU/OSU game in New Orleans, IMO.

The computers will ensure that we do get in. Bama has a quality win over Arkansas. LSU has quality wins over Oregon and Alabama.

Alabama should get in because the lost to the #1 team. OU lost to Texas Tech who just got beat 66-6.

except OU will be higher in the computers and Bama would have already played LSU at home and lost.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe we're still in the SECCG even if we lose to Ark. as our BCS ranking will be higher. I believe all tiebreakers before that fail to break the tie with Bama, Ark., and LSU all at 11-1 with losses to each other.

Within the next day or so, I am going to update my computer poll and run some hypotheticals to see what Bama needs.
Thanks. I'll be interested to see the opinion of someone who understands the computers.
Just by considering what you've said, looking at the movement in the computers and giving it an half-educated guess it would seem that this is about the best Alabama could hope for (2, 3, 4, 4 finish in the computers in comparison to Oklahoma's 2, 3, 3, 4 and then hope they get the poll votes to offset that):
Anderson:
LSU, Oklahoma, Oklahoma St, Alabama, Oregon
Sagarin:
LSU, Alabama, Oklahoma, Oklahoma St, Oregon
Billingsly:
LSU, Oklahoma, Oregon, Oklahoma St, Alabama
Colley:
LSU, Oklahoma, Oklahoma St, Alabama, Oregon
Massey:
LSU, Alabama, Oregon, Oklahoma, Oklahoma St
Wolfe:
LSU, Oregon, Alabama, Oklahoma, Oklahoma St
