That's exactly what happened until they let OSU in this year. And they got curbstomped. PSU/OK, with good showings, will ensure only conference winners get in next year.
Wrong as usual.
In a situation like if Alabama had lost it's Conference Championship, they should, and will still always make the Playoff. They deserve it for their season-worth of work.
I'm all-in on agreeing a team should at least win it's Division though.
A few years back, Alabama didn't win its division but got a rematch against LSU for the title. Should OKstate have received the title shot against LSU instead?

If you have a shot to beat a team and don't, why should you get a 2nd chance before someone equally as deserving gets a 1st shot?
If the teams split, is there a 3rd game? Points differential decides Champ?
Why would a 1 or 2 point win off-set a prior 20 point loss to the same team?
Simply opens the door for too many more "what ifs" and "maybes'.
