That might seem ridiculous now, given what just happened, but just give it time to play out. Remember, a two-loss team has never made the College Football Playoff. The Death Star might have been blown up again, but Alabama always builds another one. The only question is whether it will have to wait until next season.

Just as important, programs that don't go to bowls lose. But in most cases, going to a bowl game is much more important than winning it. Though only two of the 41 bowl games played by 80 teams in the next month will matter as far as determining a national champion, they all matter.
1. Rose Bowl. The Rose Bowl, aptly nicknamed “The Granddaddy of Them All,” was first played in 1902, making it the oldest college bowl game in the United States.
The schedule for the 2019–20 bowl games is below. All times are EST (UTC−5). The schedule consists of 40 bowl games in FBS (the New Year's Six bowl games, 33 additional bowl games, and the National Championship game) and one bowl game in FCS (the Celebration Bowl).

The Rose Bowl typically features the champions of the Big Ten and Pac-12 conferences. In years when the Rose Bowl is not a College Football Playoff semifinal game and the Big Ten or Pac-12 champion is selected to play in the College Football Playoff, the Rose Bowl Game selects the next best team in the conference.
Football Championship Subdivision
Bowl games that have a contract with a conference must select a team with at least seven wins if one is available. Any bowl berths that become eligible when a conference fails to meet its contracted tie-ins must first be filled by any eligible seven-win teams before any remaining FBS 6–6 teams can be accommodated.
