Going with Alabama here.

Looking more at resumes:
2010 Stanford:
Only played two teams that finished ranked:

  • Blown out 52-31 by final #3 Oregon. 
  • Blew out final #16 VaTech 40-12.


No other opponents finished above 8-5.

2013 Alabama:
Lost to final #2 Auburn on a crazy play, lost to final #6 OU in a bowl.
  • Beat final #14 LSU by three scores.
  • Beat final #18 aTm by a TD

IMHO 2-2 against four ranked teams > 1-1 against two at least where the rankings are reasonably comparable.

I know they had Luck, but Stanford could bully its PAC foes when it needed to.  They couldn't do that vs Bama.

Pulled up the old S&P+. Looks like Bama would've been about a 6-point favorite on a neutral. 

Stanford's offense was the best unit of the four. But the defense was just good (17th). That was one of the best pre-spread Bama offenses, with a defense that was a tad more vulnerable to efficient opposing passing games than usual.

I think helmet wins this battle, probably on the field too.
