Yup.
I mentioned this in the other thread, but Bama's loss at FSU is objectively worse than ours at Florida.
If they lose the SEC title game it's going to really test the whole "won't punish conference title game losers" stuff.
If there was any proof this is only about the number of losses look no further than Bama's loss at FSU. That is objectively worse than our loss at Florida but since they played a weak Wisconsin team instead of Ohio State they are getting the benefit of the doubt.
That's why everyone is talking about that game against Ohio State and the loss to Florida is irrelevant to the conversation. If we'd played Purdue instead of Ohio State then we're comfortably in the field and likely host a playoff game.
And before anyone goes "hurr durr they beat Georgia" remember they also lost AT HOME to Oklahoma who we clobbered at a neutral site.
The bottom line is this is run by a bunch of empty suits who make up the rules as they go along in order to have as little controversy as possible. They don't want to have to answer questions about why a 3 loss SEC team is in over a 2 loss (or even 1 loss) team from another conference. It would require actually defending the resume's and they cannot be bothered with that.
Alabama has almost the exact same resume as Texas (the loss at FSU has really aged poorly) except they played a shitty Wisconsin team at home and we played the defending champs on the road.
