Didn't Georgia lose to Alabama in Georgia?

In GA, not at UGA.

Much different advantage on your home campus.

Plus, a limited Corum was huge. He has 33% of their TDs on the year (19). The QB has thrown for fewer than Corum has produced. He accounted for nearly 50% of their total rush yards on the year.

Dodging the Corum and Edwards combo was a significant advantage, as was an early whistle that kept another UM TD off the board.

It was every advantage to tOSU in a playoff like environment, and they were run off the field. Mainly through stubborn defensive coaching refusing to adjust coverages that weren't working, similar to their NCG loss to Bama.

Still, I'm not surprised to see them a 5. Should Purdue somehow manage to upset UM though, I think the committee has a much tougher evaluation of tOSU compared to any other 1 loss non-conf champ (1-loss TCU likely in over tOSU) or potentially some 2 loss teams.
