Meh, Eason is healthy and still riding the bench. UGA’s only loss came with a healthy Eason on the bench. Clemson is a different team with their starting QB. Once Bama starts getting their backers back—and they will in the next 2-3 weeks—they become a different team. I think the committee would be foolish not to account for such things. I’m fine with the top 4–the order of the top 4 is really irrelevant at this point anyway.

Again Tider. I was using Eason as an example of players going down. Not saying we would be better with him. Clemson lost to a 4-6 team. Bryant played almost a full half. If they are going to give Clemson credit for this loss because they did not have their qb for a half then what about everybody else. Bama several games with out lbs and beat teams better than Syracuse. Aub without johnson at Clemson. Only lost by 8. He could have made a difference. Uga having to play a true freshman qb all year when he was beaten out by Eason. With that said, we are better with Fromm.With using this reason for Clemson, they need to apply it to everyone.

Elite teams should not lose to a 4-6 team because their qb is out. Elite teams overcome this because they are great in all parts of the game. Clemson should have remained 4, not jump to 2. That Syracuse game was a long time ago. Now it matters. No mention of this when it happened

The OP is correct. You have to consider the games played. Not what the committee thinks the games played would look like if everyone was healthy. Part of being a quality team is having the depth to last the season and overcoming injuries and adversity. If not this, you may as well just look at the teams on paper at the beginning of the year and start the playoffs.
As I have said before, the committee seems to view a loss as a loss instead of looking at who the loss was to. I loss to Syracuse should ding a team much more than a loss to a top 10 team.
Quality wins and terrible losses should both be considered and injuries are a part of the game.

So don't reward Georgia because they have a competent backup but don't punish Clemson because they don't?
As others have said, if you aren't a good enough team at the other 21 positions to beat a 4-6 team then maybe you aren't the second best team in the country.
