And if I had wheels, I'd be a wagon...we can make up all sorts of scenarios...most times they are "what ifs" but every once in a great while...stuff just happens.

In 2011, Alabama did not win their division nor their conference. and thus did not play in the SEC CCG.... and they won the National Championship.  But only because they were re paired with LSU (who had an identical record, but had beaten Bama head to head already in season, and were SEC champs).

It happened to Georgia Tech when they played in the SEC......

"The Volunteers finished the season 10-1-0 overall and went a perfect 5-0 in the SEC. Meanwhile, Georgia Tech went undefeated on the season (11-0-1) while playing one more game than Tennessee and went undefeated in the conference (7-0) while playing two extra games. Unfortunately, the teams never met on the field.

They may not have won conference outright, but the Yellow Jackets were the easy choice for the Sugar Bowl bid, but Tennessee got the invite because of the eye test."
