Bama lost to a hot Auburn team and missed the championship game. Georgia embarrassed Auburn and OSU won the Big 10. The committee has lots to weigh into the 4th spot but in there ruling conference champs have a better chance. In my view, both Bama and Ohio State have been in the past 3 playoffs. That said the ruling would give it to OSU. That doesn't mean Bama should be in or a better team OSU just bet a top four team they should be in. In my eyes. Yes, last year Penn State was bet by OSU by getting in but Penn State was 7 and Wisconsin was 6 both weren't in by it came down to the end. That's how I view it.
