Top 25 matchups are always exciting but there’s something special about two G6 teams going at it on a random Wednesday night

I feel like I've spent the last week defending Alabama, but...
1) There is a very clear power rating order between Alabama (FPI 3, FEI 4) -> Texas (7, 6) -> Tennessee (9, 11).
2) There is a very clear SOS order between Alabama (FPI 1, FEI 1) -> Texas (11, 2) -> Tennessee (23, 27).
3) There is a very clear SOR order between Alabama (FPI 5, FEI 1) -> Texas (9, 2) -> Tennessee (12, 15).
There is little doubt that Alabama should be ranked ahead of Texas. They aren't in the same ranking/rating "pool" as Tennessee, and Tennessee can't jump Texas.
If you look at literally anything other than "but Tennessee beat Alabama," when comparing teams with multiple losses and tons of ranked wins, Alabama clearly should be ranked ahead of Texas and Tennessee.

There’s 25 teams in the CFP ranking and the only thing anybody cares about is where Alabama is 😂

I feel like we have to talk about Kalen Deboer this season.
I have never seen him more fired and up and energized than he has been recently and it’s carrying over to the coaching staff and entire team of Alabama.
When he first came to Alabama it was clear he is a CEO type of coach and Bama fans wondered if that would be enough to keep the program afloat.
But this season has shown me that Deboer is a WINNER and is deeply passionate. He has taken on the hardest job in CFB with the most amount of pressure and he has absolutely excelled.
There is not another coach in the country that could do a better job than what he has done at Alabama in 3 years.
Deboer, this staff, and team deserves all their flowers.

How does the CFP committee handle the Bama / Tennessee game now?
The explanation last Tuesday is they aren’t in the same pod so the H2H doesn’t matter.
After today they should be in the same pod. Do you put Tennessee up to #4 and keep Bama at 5?

Utah is the truth. Weapons all over the field. Stout defense.
They seem to be a lock for the CFP and they’re gonna be TOUGH to beat

My ESPN blind ranking:
There’s some key details missing when you compare the resumes but fun game regardless

Any Top-25 team from 2015 would murder this year’s best teams and it wouldn’t be close.
Love it or hate it that’s a direct result of an all time high in parity.

This right here
To be very clear about Alabama...they're ranked too high
But one thing I do applaud the Committee for is circling the MissSt game as a special circumstance (this should happen for Missouri & South Carolina's resume to some extent too, the difference is Alabama beat MSU)
Beating MSU with Kamario Taylor should carry weight despite them falling off a cliff later in the season without him
