What percentage of Georgia fans honestly think that we should be in the playoffs?

My uneducated guess would be somewhere between 12.5 percent and 14.3 percent.

shite happens sometimes. It was just one of those years. The good news is that from here on out we can lose 2 games and probably most definitely make the playoffs. On to the new era!

Depends on what criteria you’re using, if it’s four most deserving then no but if it’s four best then yes.

Should? Depends on your definition. We should have beaten Alabama, but we didn’t. Injuries, a few terrible, game changing calls, lack of calls on Bama should have been overcome, but were not.

Bama losing to Texas almost made them a package deal. Texas’ loss was worse than our’s, but they couldn’t let Bama in without them.

From a pure should of the 4 best teams, there is no way Vegas would have us as a Dog to all 4 teams that made it…and if they truly want the 4 best teams, there is no better measurement.

I’m not sure, but the ones with the capacity for abstract thought knew it wasn’t happening.

We lost, we are out. In a different year, with less teams at the top, we definitely stay in (TCU last year) but it wasn't going to happen this year.

I'm honestly more upset that FSU got hosed in favor of Bama. Now we get to watch Nick Saban win another championship because Auburn is inept, Florida cheap shot another team's QB, and a pass that was dropped wasn't reviewed. That's one lucky SOB. At least everyone will go back to hating Bama again more than us!

We are inarguably one of the 4 best teams in the country.

Honestly I don't. It just irks me Bama beat us again in the SECCG and slithered their way in.

No, based on the criteria that the committee apparently applies:
It's the 4 best teams weighted with conference championships of the 5 major conferences.
Basically, a conference non-champion must have a better record than a conference champion.
So for instance, if Texas had 2 losses then we might have gotten in over FSU since they lost their star QB to injury and apparently the committee wasn't impressed with the capability of their backup QB's especially when the #2 backup sustained a concussion in FSU's gave vs Florida.

I look at it this way....

We had our shot to beat Bama and remain #1. We didn't.

In fact, our offense was pretty much shut down. I know we had some injuries, but everyone does and we above all else, with the Injuries to the Bama and Ohio St receivers in our big games with them, know that's a lame excuse.

We lost. We controlled our own destiny. Too many good teams this year to backdoor in. I am ok with the outcome and do not believe we deserve to be there.

FSU is the one who got screwed imo

UGA is one of the four best teams. The best teams are the most deserving teams.

Alabama will prove what we already know--Michigan is not one of the four best.

I absolutely believe we should have made it. It was the right decision to omit FSU. Though it would never happen, the team which REALLY needs to get the boot is Michigan. For the last 3 years, they've had a one game schedule (and cheated in at least two of those), only to go onto the CFP and get blasted in the semis (it will happen again this year).

"Oh, but we have to beat Penn State, too...it's not just Ohio State!"

frick outta here. PSU is absolute dogshit, and has been dogshit to anyone who has subjected their eyes to slow arse B1G football. PSU is the equivalent of like a Tennessee or Ole Miss in the SEC, but worse because they NEVER win big games.

I am SO looking forward to realignment. Michigan is going to get blasted next year with not JUST Ohio State and PSU...they've also go Washington, Oregon, Texas, and USC on the bill. They may be lucky to even make the 12 team playoff.

I do not think UGA should be in but it depends on the metrics. I believe FL state should have been in even though they aren’t top 4 “best”. If the committee insists they are going by that standard it is disingenuous to not say UGA is at least top 4. Vegas would still favor UGA over every opponent.

Atleast 75% of the fanbase thinks we should be in but there are a lot of good 1 loss and undefeated teams.
However, “Clearly a Best Four Team” Alabama

• Lost by 10 to Texas
• Beat Arkansas by 3
• Beat Auburn by 3
• Beat A&M by 6

We lose one game on a neutral field (Saban is 17-0 in ATL) by 3 points and suddenly were the 6th best team in the country
Just sick of the Nick saban favortism.
If alabama wins it all and we beat FSU, I will recognize UGA as coming in 2nd place in the country.
