Didn't they have to pick Florida because they were in the top three in the BCS?

Correct, though had several coaches not obviously shafted UGA in their rankings it's possible it might have been closer. The conference championship game is going to screw some team once playoffs are in effect. The better team goes to the championship while the other team stays home... Different from last year where most would have assumed LSU/Alabama were clearly stronger than UGA.
