There is no honest debate as to which resume would be better. If Bama clearly has the better resume (they would) you don’t go to the “head to head tiebreaker.”

I don't disagree, but what if "did they play head to head?" is the first question when looking at said resume?

The problem CFB has with rankings systems is that most teams do not play each other and there are so many conferences that comparing is difficult. We have a unique case when comparing these two resumes where they HAVE played each other, and people want to throw that out because of resumes put together where Bama beat more teams that we all know AREN'T among the best teams in the country (though are still good teams) than Texas did.

I guess all that said to ultimately agree with you on the surface that you put Bama higher But I do think completely disregarding the head to head is a mistake as well
