Keith75 - I was thinking the same thing! Herbert will look like the second coming and the Ducks will score points like the Chip Kelly era Ducks! Unreal.
But to the OP - Alabama still needs a ton of help! They get in only if Utah stinks between now and the final selection show. LSU having to play Georgia - The only way for Georgia to make it is if they beat LSU. No way in Hades they make it with two losses otherwise.
Baylor and Minnesota have outside shots.
Tiny-soda - would have to beat Ohio State in the Big 10 championship game(unlikely). But, they would be a 1 loss team that only loss on the road to a ranked opponent. And, most importantly, would be conference champions.
Waco Bears - would have to actually beat Oklahoma in the Big 12 championship game(or whoever it is). Be conference champs who only lost to ranked opponent.
*You may be thinking Alabama lost to a ranked opponent too. Yeah, but they lost at home. They had to come back to make it close. They won't be conference champs. Their schedule will bite them. They don't have that star QB so who knows.

uga has enough defense to slow LSU. LSU's defense is awful, so uga can run as long as Fromm is on and he has a couple of WRs that catch.

flat out suck just because they arent clemson..but the fact is there are only two teams in the country who havent allowed more than 20 points in a game all year and that is us and uga ..so their defense isnt exactly garbage

As Lee Corso would say, "not so fast my friend". Alabama is by no means automatic . They still need a couple of teams to fold up shop or just plain flop. Alabama also has to beat Auburn and look mighty impressive in doing so.
Mac Jones has to play well enough to give the committee temporary amnesia to the fact that the Crimson Tide lost the heart and soul of their team when Tua went down. Jones can sling it but Tua he isn't and will never be. Mac Jones was a 3? pro style QB coming out of high school. Alabama beat out TexasA$M and Kentucky for his service.
Compared to Tua, Jomes will be like a statue in the pocket. He doesn't have the mobility that Tua possessed and Jones will become a stationary target for opposing defenses to aim for. He doesn't have two concrete boots for legs by no means, but he will not be confused with being able to pull off Russell Wilson type maneuvers in tight spaces.
Jones did a great job for Alabama today. Saban had to be thankful that he was able to give Mac Jones a crash course warmup against an FCS team. He was able to give him a buffer before he goes to get his head bashed in by Auburn in the Iron bowl. I can guarantee that Jones will have a bullseye on his chest and the Auburn defense will be coming like heat seeking missiles.
Alabama has no room for error and Jones has to hit the ground slinging it like Dan Marino. The Tua injury kind of derailed the media love fest with Alabama. Yet they haven't fallen thus far in the eyes if the committee.
There are plenty of scenarios for the fourth spot. Utah, Minnesota, Baylor and even Oklahoma have a shot of getting a conference championship, which Alabama does not.

I just wish Tua was still able to play so we could see his sad look and listen to his excuses and how Bama is still greater than CLEMSON, etc...

OU and Utah still have to lose.

And honestly if both Baylor and OU enter the Big XII title game with one loss, Bama is locked out IMO.

I think if Utah wins out, they’re in. If Utah loses & Oklahoma wins out....things get a little more interesting.

This is of course assuming we see chalk results from Clemson (likely), Ohio State (likely), and LSU (they’re very good but you can’t count out the talent of Georgia).

Have you seen LSU's defense?
They'll make Jake Fromm look like the Heisman candidate.

Just for fun, let's play out all these teams end up with 2-losses. I beg you to tell me who's #4 - Bama loses to AUB - LSU beats UGA - OSU runs table (Minn 2-loss) - OK loses bedlem then beats BAY - ORE beats UTAH

no they didn't. the committee is not going to rematch lsu and alabama, under any circumstances. lsu dragged alabama in its only test this year, and a tualess bama isn't going anywhere.

will have: #1 Ohio #2 LSU #3 Clemson #4 SEC Alternate
If Alabama is #4, they will reverse us with Ohio just to give LSU the easier game and Alabama the month off to rest before playing us.

Unreal.
The most "unreal" thing concerning the cfbp playoff is that your puppies are still in it.
Best loss in cfb = bama Worst loss in cfb= uga
At BEST your the 8th best team in the country
Can't wait to see lsu beat the slop out of you guys. And even if they don't IDC bc I hated uga in the womb.
Bama would torch your secondary and you ain't throwing on bama either
