In the end it did matter.

The Travesty was Alabama ranked 9 before losing by 3 touchdowns and ranked 9 after losing by 3 touchdowns. Only in the Committee's poll. The AP and Coaches put Alabama at 11 where they belonged if not lower where other 3 loss teams are. ND would probably be in if they were in the ACC. But they value their independence.
