Following the rules of logic Alabama can be placed ahead of Texas or Georgia but not both. Either overall body of work trumps head to head, in which case Georgia > Bama or the other way, in which case Texas > Alabama. A case can be made for both Tex and Ga being superior as Bama was life and death to beat unranked A&M, Arkansas, and Auburn. To be fair, they crushed Chattanooga, Middle Tennessee and had a 14 point win over S. Fla in their top notch non-conference schedule. They 100% played great yesterday and narrowly but deservedly won. Even with that, it simply can’t be said Bama was better all year than Ga.
In a fair system Alabama should not realistically be considered for the playoff. That is not the way this works though. An undefeated team will get bounced for Bama because their QB is hurt. Nice precedent for guys like Greggggggg Williams to form game plans. It will be interesting to see whether Texas or Georgia is the other team. Maybe both if the committee decides to expedite the PAC-12’s death by a few weeks.
