Can we all admit that UGA was fricked over?

We can all admit that they are clearly one of the best 4 teams in the nation, right?

UGA lost when it mattered. You either win, or you lose. Excuses are for losers or entitled programs

UGA didn't deserve a spot in the playoff.
Was UGA one of the top 4 teams? Absolutely. But this season, winning a conference was a requirement since all the conference champions had 1 or 0 losses.
UGA was unlucky to have one of their worse performances in the game that mattered most. That happens sometimes. It happened to UGA in the SECCG in 2021 too, but that year there weren't a bunch of 0-1 loss conference champs so it didn't matter.
This year it did.
I honestly think that on average for the season, UGA is the best team this year. But that's not how it works in college football. It's more important to "time" your bad games well than it is to be the best overall.

If they were one of the four best teams, they'd have proven it by beating Alabama. This team has no excuses and no one to blame but themselves for watching the playoffs at home.

Even Georgia fans aren’t going to back you on this one.

The CFP Committee has been around for 10 years now. Plenty of time to observe trends and themes.
I was 99.-whatever percent sure that Georgia wasnt making the playoffs after they lost.
Anybody with any half assed understanding of how the Committee has always worked knew that Michigan and Washington were in, so there's 2 teams ahead of Georgia from the start.
When in doubt the CFP committee always goes with the conference champion, so that put Alabama ahead of Georgia.
Texas and Georgia had the same record but Texas was the conference champion and also beat the team that just beat Georgia, so that one was obvious too.
Florida State is the only one with a real gripe. The whole point of a 4 team playoff was supposed to be so an undefeated Power 5 team never gets left out, which happened to Auburn in 2004 and then another team a few years later.
Supposedly injured quarterbacks have always been part of the CFP Committee's formula and supposedly the committee was watching Ohio State really closely after they lost their first and second string quarterbacks in 2015. But then Cardale Jones stepped up in the Big 10 championship game and they scored 60 something points.
That's neat and everything, but Florida State still got screwed, based on precedent and trends.

No. FSU got fricked but UGA finishing 5th is about right.

Just like when they beat up on Hawaii in 2007!!!

They couldn’t beat MILROE, no sympathy whatsoever. If anything the SEC was fricked over because for some bizarre reason the universe chose to give enough freebies to Bama that would’ve put Vanderbilt in the playoffs, and they still fricked it up and brought shame upon the conference.

I'm confused about all this UGA is good in 2023 talk. Who did they beat that was a great indicator of that? Everyone bagged their schedule all year and said they would need to beat one good team in the SECCG to make the playoffs.
They didn't get it done against one of the worst Bama teams in the last decade.
