If Bama doesn't lose to unranked Vanderbilt and get obliterated by OU, then they're in. They showed, with the product they put on the field that they were undeserving of the spot. Simple as that.
I'm not saying bama would be amazing, I'm saying even with the "worse" record, they were better than the bottom 4 (and probably Arizona State and Boise State). It wouldn't change the outcome, but it would lead to better games. It's not worth pretending that the ACC or Big12 have two or even one legitimate contender in a playoff.
At that point, though, why play a regular season? The teams can be selected without looking at results. If Bama cannot get the job done against OU the week before playoff selection, what other chance do they need? The excuses that get dropped at their feet are astounding. Win. Your. Games. That's should be the goal of every team, every season. If you win your games, you get in. No one can argue wins. Anyone can argue losses.
