I could see Alabama staying ahead of Boise. They definitely should fall behind Oklahoma State and Stanford, though.
I, for one, think Alabama has no business being in the national title game if OK St and/or Stanford are undefeated. Alabama had their chance to solidify their place in the rankings and they lost. The lost at home and lost their opportunity to play in the national championship game. They very well may be and probably are the second best team in the country but the fact is they just lost a game at home. This game was the defacto national championship game, and Alabama lost. Therefore, they don't get another shot, when some other teams who will have gone undefeated would be just as deserving to play for the title.
