Alabama had to win by 12 to leapfrog LSU. FWIW, in the wins-only SRS ranker, LSU remained #1.

Yeah, I wasn't sure what the numbers would look like. My ranking has loved OK State all year, even before I realized they were good. So I guess it's not surprising, but I listed the final numbers so people saw how close the final rankings were especially with the top three. But if it were me voting for myself, I'd probably have given it to Alabama.
