Alabama scores 35 and loses. Michigan State needs everyone of its 42 points to beat Baylor. They don't get anymore defensive oriented and ball control than those two schools.
Ohio State gashed the usually stout Nama run defense in part because they had to respect that Ohio State kept going deep on them through the air. The two long completions over the top really put Bama on their heels.
CFB has been trending this way for years, and the way pass interference is called today makes it damn near impossible to have a true shutdown defense where you're able to win a season's worth of 13-10, type games.
