Lol at the mental gymnastics one would have to do to put Notre Dame over Georgia after the SECCG when the Irish were essentially on a bye week. Especially considering Georgia beat Notre Dame and had a better record

Initial projection on Mike and Mike this AM, in advance of first CFB playoff, said ND has only a 47% chance to make the playoffs even if they win out.

I can't see the committee ignoring a head to head home loss to another 1 loss team who had to play #1 team in the country in a CCG.

Personally, I think the committee would be hoping for a way to keep ND and UGA out in that scenario.

Bad options all around for them:
A. UGA in, ND out. UGA likely #4 and it's mulligan game part 2 with all the same 2 teams from 1 conf talk.
B. UGA out, ND in. Obvious issue as mentioned above.
C. UGA in at 3, ND in at 4. 3 other power 5 Conf Champs left out.
D. ND and UGA out. Avoids the tougher decisions and fallout. Allows max conf participation in CFB playoffs. Fails to reward SOS and on field performance
