Why would OK deserve to be in the title game over a one loss Bama? Which team had a better loss? Bama losing to the #1 team in the land in OT, or OK getting beat by a unranked team? I know the media would try to get OK in, but how would that be fair?
I don't know if it is fair or not, I just think it will happen. LSU would've had a chance to bounce back to the title game, but I think Oklahoma would get in over Bama if they both have a loss.
I will say, however, that Oklahoma's overall resume may end up being better. It depends on how some teams finish up. I've always said it is more about who you beat than who you lose to. Oklahoma may end up with a slight advantage with their top wins with Ok State 11-1, Texas/Kansas State 10-2 or 9-3, and Florida State potentially 9-3. Alabama may be looking at Arkansas 10-2, Penn State (I'm expecting them to drop a few, if they don't this may be the key) 10-2/9-3, and Auburn 8-4 (at best). Throw in that Oklahoma may end up having beaten 7 teams with winning records versus Alabama's potential to have only 5 - I think Oklahoma could certainly have a claim to the better resume.
I believe the computers already have a slight lean in the direction of the Big XII. Add that to an adequate percentage of voters (I don't think this is the majority, I just think it is enough) who will be anti-rematch and I think Oklahoma would get the nod.
