Georgia's issue was that while they are objectively one of the 4 best they don't have an objectively top 4 resume and played a good but not great SoS. Combine that with no conference title and they weren't going to get in in a year like this.

Alabama (12-1), #4 SOR, #5 SOS, SEC Champ
Texas (12-1), #5 SOR, #13 SOS, BXII Champ

Ohio State (11-1), #6 SOR, #7 SOS, no champ
Georgia (12-1), #7 SOR, #37 SOS, no champ

It certainly is a part of the selection criteria. Does precedent not help establish the degree to which a conference / team would be competitive in the playoffs? Why should the SEC and B10 enjoy any deference over the Sun Belt and the C-USA if that's not the case?

Is Georgia's status as the #1 team for the entirety of the season "not part of selection criteria," either?
