No, lose the big game you don't. What's the point of having a conference championship? They don't even get there..
While Alabama is "probably" one of the top 4 teams in the country I am not sure how much proof we have of it to the point where they deserve to get into the playoff. Their resume is awfully thin with a home win vs LSU and a road win vs an ok Mississippi State team that was almost a loss as the only results worth mentioning.
There is evidence all over the place that the SEC beyond Bama, Auburn, and Georgia is not even mediocre.
I think at this point the Georgia-Auburn winner should be in. Also, the Clemson-Miami winner (well maybe not if it's Miami). Oklahoma controls it's own destiny. I think if Wisconsin beats OSU there should be a lot of questions if Bama gets in over an undefeated Wisconsin. If OSU wins that game, then ok, put Bama in as the 4th team by default.
If the committee is being consistent, they should take either Big 10 champ over Bama. Bama has zero quality wins and no conference championship. OSU would have 2-3 quality wins (depending on your view of MSU) and a conference title. Bama's schedule just isn't impressive when you actually break it down.
Wisconsin hasn't beaten anyone this year. They had the easiest schedule on earth.Do you look at who teams have beaten or who teams have lost to?
Alabama hasn't beaten anyone, but they only lost to Auburn
Meanwhile, OSU lost to shitty Iowa, but they beat some good teams
Hopefully, UW wins and gets in and they aren't sitting there choosing between OSU and ALabama

We were their toughest game all year which is like a boxer's toughest match being against a one-armed opponent.

Wisconsin does carry some blame. FAU, Utah State, and BYU is a joke of a non-con schedule.I agree with you. Unfortunately, schedules are set about 3 years in advance. 3 years ago, we thought Michigan had a difficult non conference schedule. Florida, Cincinnati, and Air force all sucked this year, though,
Its not like you can stop after 6 games and rearrange your schedule to only arrange games with good team from then on. You have no idea who is going to be good from year to year and you have no control over your conference schedule.

It's also pretty convenient the B1G gave them a conference schedule with only one real game. How can they miss OSU, PSU, and MSU in the same year? That's not on Wisconsin. It's just ridiculous in general.
