Among potential 2 loss teams, I think Ohio State >> Alabama.

It might help if Michigan loses to Iowa, or not, not sure.

That's ridiculous. They would clearly be the first 2-loss team selected.
Ohio state's resume is much better, especially if Michigan beats Iowa

What is Alabama's most impressive win?  OSU has one with MSU.  OK, they have two losses, both to higher ranked teams.  

Miami?  They lost to A&M which is akin to Oregon and UGA (ostensibly) akin to UM.  But do they have an impressive win like OSU>MSU?

The played Tenn and UF cross divisions and edged the latter.  They did beat Ole Miss, that would probably be it.

I wish that the Playoff committee had more people that think like you, but they don't. Bama will be the first 2-loss team taken, especially with the extra game. They'd be 11-2 instead of 10-2 like OSU.

I see that Bama played a bunch of SEC teams, while OSU didn't. 

First rodeo?

The SEC West was hardly a gauntlet this season.  Ole Miss had a great year, for Ole Miss.  Bama got them at home.  Arky had a nice year, for Arky, Bama left them hang around at home.  The Auburn game was in effect a tie, at Auburn, who was 6-6 (or 6-5-1).

Ohio State had impressed me up until that last game.

Tell you what. If Bama loses and gets left out of the playoffs in favor of another 2-loss team, OSU or otherwise, I'll eat my hat.

Agreed.  I'd probably pick OSU over Bama head to head, but Bama won their division and the second loss would be to the consensus #1 at that point.  Bama gets the playoff spot in this scenario.  I'm not really sure there's a path for OSU at this point.  Two losses with no conference or division title makes it tough to overcome.

Put the crack pipe down.  I don't see a way into the playoffs for Ohio State or any other two loss team.

As noted, mayhem scenario, UM, UC, OkSU all lose, UGA blows out Bama 49-10 ... who ya got?

I'd be fine with that scenario.
