Again I just don't udnerstnad the gnashing of teeth on this.
Facts don’t cease to be facts just because someone doesn’t understand them. How are we not falling off the surface of the earth and spinning off into outer space? I have no idea. You’ll say , “Ooh it’s cuz gravity”. Okay, great, how does gravity work? I don’t have a clue, and neither do you. This thing thing with cfp fiasco rankings last night is much easier to understand though
Having been ranked #1 in AP and Coaches for the near entirety of the first 9 weeks, Georgia would be in a much stronger position had they rightfully continued as #1 into the cfp rankings.
Basic math shows that it’s further from the #1 spot to the #5 spot than from any other spot at top of rankings.
So there’s room to stumble
This can pay off big time like it did for us last year, and like it has done for Alabama before .
But since the committee is smarter than the AP, the Coaches, and Las Vegas, Tennessee will get the potential benefit instead rather than Georgia.
The only thing Tennessee did to deserve it was to be a new shiny object, the new flavor of the week that hasn’t had a chance in playoffs yet. This is what the commie concept of equity looks like, and you are cheering it on. I’m going to vomit

Oh I agree. It's why I post a thread annually to inform people on how the committee operates since they haven't deviated yet in 8 years yet some people still don't get it.

the committee ranks based on a team's resume at that exact point in time through that part of the season. Tennessee objectively has the best resume in CFB right now, thus they are #1. I do think us and OSU should be swtiched but again, it's irrelevant right now. "Stumbling room" is fun to watch week after week but it truly doens't matter until after CCG weekend.

This just isn't apples to apples at all. Last year we were undefeated and #1 heading in to CCG and lost. The only reason we still made the playoffs is becuase there wasn't a viable replacemnet to put over us after OkSt got upset in the big 12 title game. In 2017 alabama made the playoffs wiht 1 loss above a conf champion that had 2 losses (1 of which was an atrocious loss). In 2022, if UT loses to us and doesn't play int he CCG, the only prayer they have whatseover of making the playoffs is to have other P5 champs have multiple losses. Same as any other year. If there are four P5 champs with 0/1 loss, UT is out. Period. Done. Set in stone. And whether they are ranked 1 or 2 or 3 as of right this minute doesn't change any of that.

Their best wins are 1) close over alabama 2) beatdown at LSU 3) beatdown over kentucky. Our 3 best wins are 1) beatdown over oregon 2) uh, beatdown of SC, I guess? they used to be ranked 25th last week 3) Florida? They are only .500 and unranked but they have name appeal

Here's another issue I have with this. The committee in their intial ranking shows us that wins and losses matter. They don't put "eye test" above all else. Bama is a prime example here. IS there anyone on earth that thinks bama wouldn't absoultely demolish the shite out of clemson if they palyed thsi weekend? Probably not. It'd be a massacre. Yet clemson is ranked higher, simply due to being undefeated while bama has a loss. So the whole "UT is ranked 1st so they won't drop that far with a loss" thing....why not? Doesn't it stand to reason that if we win this weekend UT would be no better than 5th? UGA/OSU would certainly be 1/2, while clemson and michigan would be 3/4 would they not? And UT would have to be ranked above bama due to having the same record but a head to head win.
The committe isn't the archaic coaches poll that feels like you can only move someone up or down a certain number of spots based on some unknown criteria. If UT loses this weekend why would they still be in the top 4 with a loss over an undefeated clemson/michigan, both of which are currently above a 1 loss bama?

Isn't it fascinating that there's an apparent "Georgia fatigue" factor already, even though we never experienced the Bama version that was richly deserved?
