A first will happen for the college football playoff. Either a 2 loss team is making it or 2 teams from the same conference will get in. Ohio State has more quality wins, but they lost twice and were shelled by unranked Iowa. Alabama's only loss came to number 6 Auburn on the road. Alabama was ranked number 1 most of the season. It will probably come down to which team is more likely to play a strong game (not blown out) against Clemson. If that is the case, Alabama should make it.
