Just don't see it happening even if Bama finishes in second place at around20-10 and 12-4 in the SEC. RPI is important but there are other factors as well. Also factor in that Bama has done well against the East so far by beating UK and Tennessee sothey can't say it is just because Bama plays in the West. Common sense has to factor in somewhat because Bama would raise holy hell if 4 SEC East teams go ahead of the conference champ.
