but at least they won their conference, Bama didn’t even win its division...and their big out of conference win is a what 4 8 FSU team?? ok...

Clemson already beat them this year... rinse repeat. I saw nothing during all barn that would suggest they can even be close...

I think you're focusing way too much on division titles in these conferences. I remember the 2010 season in the SEC being the most absurd. In the final season ranking you had the following teams from the SEC West:

#1 -- Auburn (14-0, national champion)
#8 -- LSU (11-2)
#10 -- Alabama (10-3)
#12 -- Arkansas (10-3)
#15 -- Mississippi State (9-4)

Four of these teams didn't win the division, yet in the other division the SEC East was won by a South Carolina team that finished with a 9-5 record. And LSU ranked higher than Arkansas at the end of the year, but finished behind them in the SEC West standings because Arkansas won their head-to-head matchup.

That FSU team was 4-8 mainly because their starting quarterback was injured in their opening game loss to Alabama. They played the rest of the season with a freshman backup QB. FSU was ranked #3 in the country before that game against Alabama.
