But would you be so confident that Texas would win in a rematch?
This doesn't matter. It's the same argument Bama fans tried to make last year with TCU.
Results on the field matter, and Texas beat Bama head to head, and in this scenario both would have the same record and be conference champions. That head to head will count more than everything with the committee, because the reality is they are beholden to the perception of making decisions based on what teams did on the field.
And how can they defend saying Bama is better than Texas (in their selecting the best teams mantra), when Texas beat them ON THE ROAD on the field?
They can't. That's why in that scenario Texas is in.

Scenario 11: Alabama, Washington, Louisville and Texas win.
1. Michigan (13-0)
2. Washington (13-0)
3. Alabama (12-1)
4. Georgia (12-1)
—
5. Texas (12-1)
Georgia stays in if Florida State loses.
This might be the dumbest scenario. Ignoring the stupidity of Bama being #3 and UT #5, putting in UGA is even dumber. UT would have a tougher SOS than UGA, have a conference championship that UGA doesn't, and beat a common opponent by double digits on the road with UGA losing to them at a neutral site.
