It's easy to blame injuries and the refs. And you could be correct in that this team would have won if not for the refs and injuries.
That's not what kept this team from being championship caliber though. No way this team was going to win the playoff playing like that. I'd have loved for Alabama to get a shot, but may be it's better long term that Alabama has a chance to work on fixing what's wrong, because there's a surprising amount of things that are wrong with this team. It was a waste of talent.
