re: This is why playoff expansion is stupid

An expanded playoff allows an opportunity for more upsets and If anything was learned from the SECCG is that Georgia was very beatable. Michigan and Cincinnati can certainly beat Georgia. Notre Dame, Oklahoma State and Baylor would be competitive games.

You're overthinking that result yesterday. There are very few teams that could do what Alabama did to Georgia, it's just that Alabama had played so badly up to that point that people (myself included) just assumed that Alabama had lost that edge. We're so used to Alabama reloading that we forget that it's supposed to take time for teams to recover from losing that many draft picks. Alabama is just finally putting it together, and while I do think Michigan can play with Georgia, they're one of maybe a handful of teams who can, and I don't think Ok St, ND, or Baylor could. Georgia wins games in the trenches and there just aren't that many squads in the country who have the line play to hang with them.
