And with Texas ranked No. 7 and Alabama ranked No. 8, that head-to-head result looms large as both teams play in conference championship games this weekend. But CFP selection committee chair Boo Corrigan emphasized that the head-to-head matchup doesn't lose value over time.
"Head-to-head is head-to-head, no matter when the game is played, and that's how we look at it," Corrigan said.
And with the Crimson Tide and Longhorns both at one loss and potential careening toward selection Sunday with relatively similar resumes, that win for Texas could be a massive separator.
