re: Should division record be the only record that matters?

Georgia has benefited the past couple times they got into the SEC CG from having the weaker cross-division draw that year than who they were competing with for the spot in Atlanta.

2011 & 2012 they lost to USC (hammered in 2012) and went on to win the east because this:

2011 - Ole Miss (W), MSU (W), Auburn (W)
2012 - Ole Miss (W), Auburn (W)

while USC played
2011 - Auburn (L), MSU (W), Arky (L)
2012 - LSU (L), Arky (W)

Now is not the time to be talking about unfair. Georgia got the biggest break in the east the past few years by how their west rotation got reset. And they got to Atlanta twice during that period.
