Couldn’t agree more. GA is the best team in college football and has been for 3 years.Everybody else playing for second place.
By whom?I agree but you will get flamed on here OP.
Georgia not even the best in the SEC. Give it up already.
It doesn’t happen often. Looks like 2014 with Oregon and OSU was the last one and then quite a few in the 2000’s.By whom?
OP is right.
This will be the last Natty w/o an SEC finalist in, perhaps, decades.
Bama’s narrow win over Georgia gave the Committee just enough (well, not really) to knock UGA to 5th.
With 12 teams in the playoffs, and 5-7 from the new, enlarged SEC footprint, most seasons could easily end with two SEC teams in the title game.
But we’ll hear how good this last 4 team matchup was for college football, for a long while.
Shut up. Nobody would want to play them. You do realize that he pulled his starters at halftime, played everybody on the team that had dressed out. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a team do that in a game before. It’s been since 2014 since an SEC team was not in the final game. As someone pointed out earlier, that will be the last time that happens.Georgia not even the best in the SEC. Give it up already.
You shut up. Go to the Georgia board and kiss their ass. All I know is Alabama beat them fair and square and Texas beat Alabama. Quit crying about Georgia. You sound pathetic.Shut up.

Considering they beat the team that beat GA, yup.Probably, but Michigan is good enough beat them with some lucky 50/50 plays.
OU also beat Texas on their home field in week 7 so maybe OU should have gotten in instead of Texas if we are playing that game. I’m not taking anything away from Texas but they played a different bama team in week 2 than Georgia faced in week 13. Georgia would win this 4 team playoff format 7 times out 10 against TX, Michigan, and Washington IMO.You shut up. Go to the Georgia board and kiss their ass.

Texas and Oklahoma have been playing in Dallas for about 578 years. 😂OU also beat Texas on their home field in week 7…….
I don’t care if they played on the moon. Did Texas lose to OU or not. Georgia loses one game to Bama by 3 points in week 13 so they don’t deserve in but Texas losing in week 7 is somehow ok.Texas and Oklahoma have been playing in Dallas for about 578 years. 😂

You’re the one that made an issue out of it being a home game for Texas. 😂I don’t care if they played on the moon. Did Texas lose to OU or not. Georgia loses one game to Bama by 3 points in week 13 so they don’t deserve in but Texas losing in week 7 is somehow ok.
No other sec teams make fun of us because we can’t keep a game competitive for even one quarter of football against the upper brass.Other sec teams make fun of us that live vicariously through their teams.
They were listed as the home team on the schedule. I don’t follow all the intricacies of other conference games and where they are played annually. They still lost to OU regardless where it was played. Playing in Dallas is much more of a home game for Texas than it is for OU anyway so the point stands.You’re the one that made an issue out of it being a home game for Texas. 😂
It’s basically equidistant from Austin and Norman and the tickets are split 50/50. It’s as neutral as neutral can get. That’s why they play there.They were listed as the home team on the schedule.

And Washington beat Texas. So, I guess by your logic Washington is the best team, until they lose to Michigan, then Michigan will be the best team. Unfortunately, the best team doesn't always win it. I'll consider Michigan to be the legit champ if they win it. Doesn't mean I still won't think UGA is the better team when at full strength, because I will.You shut up.

Actually, they don’t, and generally pull for us in OOC competition (in football.)Other sec teams make fun of us that live vicariously through their teams.
Hello, I’m yellow, just like Homer Simpson!Georgia, at their best, can beat anyone this year. However, I think the same can be said of a few other teams, also. Georgia, in what is basically a home game in the SECC (played in Atlanta), had their opportunity to be in the playoff and didn't capitalize. Sucks for them but, since the committee tried to let the on-field games decide who was in and who was out, they didn't make it. I don't think, unlike previous years, this Georgia team is CLEARLY better than every other team. Even when 100% healthy, their defense wasn't as dominant, their running game wasn't 100% effective, etc. They are a very talented and well-coached team. But, imo, not clearly the best team that got screwed out of the national championship. They had a chance to be in the playoff and didn't beat Bama. That's sports for you.
Regardless of your loyalties, unbeaten Michigan and Washington are deserving of playing for the championship. They are the only unbeaten teams remaining and both have beaten some quality opponents throughout the season. Only a complete SEC homer would view the winner this coming Monday as a champion with an asterisk.
Take UGA out of the equation. It’s hard for me to believe that a team, any team, that is 2x defending NC and was ranked #1 basically all season long, and only loss is the conf championship does make the playoff to me is just not legitimate. There is way too much emphasis on the argument x beat y and y beats Z so x is better than Z. That’s just not the way it works. I think Herby had it right, stop all the stupid logic arguments and criteria. Just pick the 4 best teams. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t believe UGA wasn’t one of the best 4 teams in the country. Texas is not. Bama is not.Wish I could agree with that, we were very good when healthy and focused. But we had our chance to prove we were the best and let it slip through our fingers. We likely end up number 5 because the teams ahead of us that lost both were playing for the win when game ended.
They basically defaulted to the formula of taking the best 4 conference champions to avoid the appearance of favoritism - taking one conference loser over another conference winner. There was no way out of this for them without pissing off a lot of fan bases. I also believe Georgia was at least a top 4 team but they were simply a victim of a system, that fortunately has been modified so something like this doesn't occur again.Take UGA out of the equation.

Totally agree, which is why the system is flawed. No matter who is chosen, people will be pissed by default. So just make the system work and take the 4 best teams. That would never happen though.They basically defaulted to the formula of taking the best 4 conference champions to avoid the appearance of favoritism - taking one conference loser over another conference winner.

Personally, I think there's something to be said for having to earn your way in.Totally agree, which is why the system is flawed. No matter who is chosen, people will be pissed by default. So just make the system work and take the 4 best teams. That would never happen though.
