I will attack something that hasn't been attacked which hurt Georgia twice in the BCS era. The media bias has hurt Georgia badly. Kirk Herbstriet and his media goons went on a tirade the year LSU jumped Georgia for a title shot because we didn't win the SEC. A few years later these same media goons are doing everything in their power to make sure Alabama plays for a title even though they didn't win the SEC. It's not about who is ranked higher and who was cinsideres the best team until it's a national power or until it's convinient an it's complete and utter bullshyt. In 02 we would still been behind OU in the polls because of media bias and the preseason rankings. :/

ESPN set the stage for the Bama/LSU rematch as the game was ending. And the same exact people said UGA had to win their conference to be considered. This is not up for debate...

I'm a big UGA homer, but these situations are not comparable. in 2007, OSU was the clear #1 at the time, the question was who was #2. It came down to us and LSU, they won the SEC we didn't, pretty simple. In 2011, LSU won the SEC and was the clear #1, it was then a matter of who is better in the voter's mind Bama or Okie St. Had those 2 been in the same league, Okie St. would have gone for winning the league, but they played different opponents and Bama was deemed stronger.
