Next week Alabama plays a nobody.
Then it plays a 3 loss (albeit primary Rival) Auburn.
Absent chaos from the rest of the contenders the Tide probably falls from five based on SOS alone.

But that has nothing to do with the facts this year.

Here's a few facts for you:

Three loss Auburn beat #6 Oregon. And their three losses were to the #1, #4, and #10 teams in the nation, by an average of only 7 points per game. So their metrics actually look very good.

Making them out to sound like they're the same as the 7-3 Indiana Who?siers is patently fatuous.
You have a point, but consider, Alabama's hope to improve their SoS will be a win against a four loss team in at best, the 20s range in the Committee rankings. Compare that to who the teams around them will be playing.  Without a conference championship on their record - which would also give them a better win - Alabama is going to be hurt for the God's Conference luck of the draw this year. I suppose they might be in the argument if there.are a couple of two loss champions - the committee really, really hates that second loss - but only if LSU beats Georgia.


And you have a good point/s too.

I don't know how much leeway the committee has for just good old fashion common sense.(If they have any at all)

Also SOS isn't everything, and at this juncture that "quality" loss they have couldn't get any better than what it is.

Do not underestimate the chance of chaos. All it takes is for Texas to beat Baylor and Oklahoma to lose the championship game

Big 12 equivalent of beating a dead horse. That conference can’t make it with a one loss champion.
Not over another one loss Conference champ,  but if Wisky wins out and there are four one loss Conference champs?
If Wisconsin does win out it will finish with wins over 2 top ten teams and easily jump Oklahoma who can’t match that finish.

Indiana is not ranked. No one is comparing them to Auburn.

You did.

But the point being made is that there are 3 loss teams that are eh, and then there are 3 loss teams that aren't eh.

Which will be a factor should Indiana beat Michigan and end 9-3 with two of its losses to tOSU and PSU. Auburn would have to beat Alabama to finish 9-3.  A loss to the ‘ Tide would leave them at 8-4 It’s quality win over Oregon might be the deciding factor to finish higher than Indiana.

The deciding factor ought to be the other team IU lost to.

Those are factored in using ‘ common sense’ by the Committee.

I may stop watching the IU - Methchicken game. Because that way as far as I can tell, Methchicken loses.
