My original post is succinct and stands. Yours which is I think you have to have momentum at the end of the season from which I can tell is to not lose 2 games in a row if one of them is a home game against an unranked team when you control your own destiny….which is why Alabama would be eliminated. Which they would have to be under your criteria.

You were met with nothing both thumbs down and rolling eyes, etc.

As you should have. Every team needs to be evaluated on the full body of work. Bama would not be eliminated. They would still tune in despite not having momentum, taking accountability, despite not winning when they controlled their own destiny. Their players would still be hopeful on reveal day despite you thinking they are eliminated.
