2012

Alabama would top the RPR for the season after defeating Notre Dame in the BCS Championship Game. The Crimson Tide had the 2nd-best Win % and the best Score Ratio for the season. Four other teams ended up falling into the CCT cutoff, however I don’t believe any of the teams’ edges they would have (if any) were able to make up the healthy distance Alabama had (Florida, with the best SOS, possibly could’ve got a co-champion nod had they won the Sugar Bowl and ended the year with 1 loss. Texas A&M had a head-to-head win over Alabama along with a better SOS, but don’t feel there was enough to elevate them up to co-champion status).
