I'm presuming that LSU will prevail.  Alabama is a very good team but I don't think they're better than LSU.  OSU is better than a two-loss Alabama  no matter what SEC die hards will try to sell to voters.  OSU #1?  Maybe, if OSU had run Stanford out of the stadium,  but they didn't.  Also hard to argue that a team outside the NC game deserves to be elevated over that game's winner.  OSU's fate was sealed that night in Ames.    In that sense,  we share a common fate sealed earlier in the season.  We lost to a better team then,  OSU lost to an inferior team in Ames.   

Now,  getting Barry Sanders Jr. might take some of the sting out of this loss to OSU.
