Let me take a wild guess. You think UGA should have been in over Michigan?

No, I think the committee got it as right as they ever have given that no one has the authority to dictate to the committee who does and does not get in THEIR playoffs. UGA had their shot and lost the SECCG by 3 points.

Now, if you're asking me if I think UGA would be competitive with either Washington or Michigan, I think the answer to that is categorically yes and anyone who thinks that UGA would get run out of Houston either has an agenda or has not followed College football very much. The playoff, 21 and 22 included, have NEVER been about pitting the best teams against one another, they have always been about the best story line. UGA having a shot at CFB history with the 3 peat would have been a helluva story but 3 teams that haven't done much in the last 20 or 30 years, 2 of which are generally considered blue bloods for some convoluted reason, was as interesting to the general CFB world as UGA winning another natty. If there were a 12 game playoff this season UGA would have been favored to win against anyone in the field and would have been the odds on favorite to win it all. UGA is categorically one of the best 2,3, 4 10 or 100 teams in the nation and anyone who doesn't understand that is simply blind or obtuse.

Finally if CFB had a regulatory body which had any reason to exist OTHER than promoting a basketball tournament in March Michigan for certain would have been DQd aftter taking a plea deal from the conference. As it is IF Michigan manages to win there is a 50/50 chance that the win will be vacated at some future date. It would have happened for certain 10 years ago if a similar situation had arisen but given the state of CFB today it is a pick 'em.
