So where do we stand with this Texas/Bama stuff?
1. Texas beat Bama. Week 2, but this occurred.
2. Bama has looked good since then, perhaps better than Texas, but Ewers has been injured.
If you put Bama in over Texas, you defeat a lot of initial argument points. Playing a tough OOC game and winning doesn't matter if the team you beat looks good later on.
To me, Oregon being ahead of both is what throws the argument. Oregon played Texas Tech OOC, struggled, and is considered better than Texas and Bama because...?
Probably the most criminal rank is Tennessee at 21. Blown out by Missouri and UGA. Bama controlled them. Florida throughly beat them. I'm leaning towards 25th at best.
Clemson in there at 24th is kinda iffy too.
