Head to Head will trump eye test with all other things equal. Despite the context of Week 2 compared to today or even the end of the season, it will and should keep UTx ahead of Bama if neither lose again.

That said, a one-loss Conf champ, UTx and/or Bama will jump over a one-loss Conf champ FSU, Oregon, UW, or Michigan. If not, what is the point of playing a tough schedule?

Bama needs some of those losses to materialize. If they don't and a one-loss Bama SEC Champ is left out, those are the breaks. Many teams have been punished for scheduling a formidable OOC opponent and playing in a good conference.

The CFP committee is only consistent in its inconsistent application of ranking philosophies, so who knows?

All that said, AU is never an easy out, and UGA is a beast, so it's all academic at this point. Still a good bit of football left to upset some apple carts between rivalry weekend and CCG weekend.
