You may be right about the SEC, but I think you are wrong about clarity on Tuesday. Resist the temptation to believe that the early CFP rankings give any insight about what they will do in the end.
I do believe that 12-1 Oregon or 12-1 Oklahoma are in over 11-1 Bama. Utah is a slightly different animal because the committee clearly cares about brand as well as everything else, and Utah doesn't have the brand that Oregon/OU have.
They really do care about being a conference champion, though, and they will reward that 12th win.
