It's less likely than simply rooting for the team that doesn't help our resume to lose. Alabama losing also hurts our case against other teams that are behind us. Imagine if SMU wins out and loses a close game to Miami. Why should the committee take us at 10-2 with no quality wins over 11-2 SMU?
Alabama losing damages us as much as it helps because it allows other teams behind us to pass us if our resume gets weaker. Right now the only reason we're even 7th is because of that win over Alabama. If they're suddenly a 3-loss team then our resume is greatly damaged.
Yes. Tennessee will get in over 2-loss SMU. Even if Alabama loses to LSU. No doubt. SMU has a pathetic schedule. Same for Indiana.
Tennessee won’t get in over 2-loss Alabama.
