Alabama finished atop the base RPR, but the only team in the CCT cutoff, CFP champion Clemson, established themselves worthy for co-champion status. Both teams tied for the best Win % and the Tigers had a narrow edge over the Crimson Tide for the best SOS. Alabama’s Score Ratio gave it the edge for the base rating, but taking other factors into consideration (including Clemson’s head-to-head win over Alabama in the CFP championship), it would be hard to argue against the notion that the Tigers should be viewed as an equal at very least.
