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.

No overthinking a bout it. Saban won't stay at Bama forever and you will have more one loss teams in the future. The SEC is the best conference now but they will have some lean years. Bama never lost the edge but play a schedule full of good teams that were good enough to beat them. ND, Oklahoma State and Baylor can compete with Georgia because they don't have a QB. That weakness is enough for other teams to compete with Georgia. Those teams aren't scrubs.

Bama didn't play great all year but they were good enough to win the SEC and while it could be said that Georgia has more talent than Bama, they have a shitty QB that had no business starting for Georgia. That is why they lost and when you have a weak QB that will give other teams a chance.
