Are we 100% sure Alabama wouldn't have made the playoffs even if they lost to Georgia? Feels like a pretty safe bet that they would have made it regardless. Can't see Ohio State jumping Alabama in this scenario with how the committee harped on struggles vs Nebraska/Minnesota/Maryland being factors whereas Alabama most breezed through their schedule.
It's seemed like Alabama has a different set of rules than everyone else. They need 2 losses before they get DQ'd, unlike everyone else who gets 1.
