If Alabama hadn't lost to LSU and/or Tennessee, they'd be in the playoff. It's not like they had a wonderful resume. In addition to those two losses, they also squeaked by Texas on a last second field goal, and barely beat Texas A&M and Ole Miss.
For the folks saying that Alabama wouldn't have gotten embarrassed like TCU did, I think if you switched New England for Denver in Super Bowl XLVIII, they wouldn't have gotten blown out by the Seahawks.
