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.

Explicitly, the playoffs are supposed to be the best 4 teams.

All I am saying is this: watching Washington vs Texas, it was clear to me that neither of those teams was one of the 4 best teams in the nation. The talent level is just so different. Defensively, Washington just isn't very good, even though they probably have the best QB in the nation. I think they are going to be soundly beaten by Michigan - a team with a suspect offense.
