Its honestly fucking ridiculous.
Since 2010 Ohio State has missed the NC or playoffs 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2018, 2023 with 1 or 0 losses and Alabama never missed it with 1 loss and cried their asses off the 2 times they missed with 2 losses.
This year is insanely opposite of what the norm is.
Alabama 2017 and 2011 had horrendous schedules, 2017 only played 1 ranked team and got whipped by them yet goes over 2 loss Ohio State that played like 5 top 25 teams including an undefeated Wisconsin team and Oklahoma that went to the playoffs yet was behind them. But this year Indiana is behind Tenn and Georgia in a very similar scenario and Georgia looks like trash every single game just about where OSU 2017 was winning most their games by 40 points. They got murdered by Ole Miss, sucked vs Alabama, Kentucky, Miss State, Florida with a walk on QB, the 1st half last week they looked horrendous.
Alabama can play like shit all year though vs a bunch of unranked teams get blown out by Auburn in 2017 and stay ahead of a 2 loss team though that had massive wins and played the hardest schedule in the nation.
Losing at the end of the season badly is usually a death blow and somehow Alabama this year barely moves after getting destroyed by a team that was 1-5 vs Power 4 teams.
