The SEC was dominate during the BCS era. Unfortunately Georgia lost critical games every year during that period that kept them out of the top 2 spots. As seen by the graphic, 2002 would have hypothetically using the BCS formula been the only year in which we would have had a shot in a 4 team playoff.

The most ridiculous thing was in 2007 when we were ranked 4th, two teams ahead of us lost, and we fell to 5th. That was pure "keep Georgia out, since they didn't win their conference" lunacy, which is made worse when you consider people (Herbstreit being notable, but there were others) who were against Georgia playing in the title game in 2007 but supported Michigan playing in the title in 2006 after not winning their conference.

I can buy the argument that we didn't belong in the title game, but to be ranked 5th at that point was completely asinine.
