If Alabama is selected, it is essentially the same rationale and methodology whereby Ohio State got selected last year. Penn State was last year's champion and Ohio State did not play in the CCG.

If the Selection Committe, perhaps for the third time, looks as if they are altering what they value most in order to pick Urban Myers' Ohio State, then it is going to look like a pattern to fans and other observers external to Ohio State advocates. The two loss thing will be another precedent.
I am not saying necessarily, OSU is undeserving of a spot; rather as I said prior, that last spot will have controversy if Wisconsin did not win the BIG CC.

Alabama has a case. USC and UCF have to be pushing #6 and #7 (or not off by more than one number) or something is really wrong.
