The human element will recognize Bama as Bama and Ohio State getting slaughtered last year to the same expected match up. Yes, it's a different year, but I think there are biases that will linger.
Ohio State carries 3 wins better than anything Bama offers and a conference title. Bama carries one less defeat and the legacy of being the current king of the decade.
I think a valid point could be made about not holding the OU loss against OSU because they are going to be in the playoffs, but that dreadful Iowa showing is very difficult to excuse.
I think the committee will see Bama as a safer choice.
If the Clemson result last year has any bearing on this year, bring back the BCS.
Just absolutely terrible reasoning.
I hope people say this stuff out loud, or the committee hears this stuff out loud, if they actually fall in line with your thinking.
"Bama should get in because of last years OSU vs Clemson loss. Bama should get in because of OSUs loss to Iowa. Bama should get in because of previous years success."
Maybe eventually, after saying stuff like that enough, they'll realize. Bama themselves accomplished absolutely nothing this year.
Whole reason for the committee was to remove bias with a group. Thankfully, I don't think they look at this the way you just did, as a whole.
