Is it a true statement to say that UGA is the only team in the SEC the last three years to be in control of its playoff destiny the last game before selections?

If we had not shite the bed and kept it close vs LSU, we would hear pundits saying we should have been number 4.

and they'd still be wrong. A 2 loss non-champion has absolutely zero business in the playoffs.

Yeah, OU looked great.

It's the best 4 regardless.

It's that simple.

their game wiht LSU has less than nothing to do wiht them deserving to be there or not. By that logic you could say bama didn't deserve the playoffs last year since they got obliterated by clemson

No, it really isn't. It's not and has never been (nor should be) the "best", since that's highly subjective. It should be most deserving based on your resume. I think Alabama would absolutely blow the friggin doors off of oklahoma, but alabama didn't beat a single ranked team all season, not a single one! They also had 2 losses and didn't win their division. Oklahoma was a 1-loss P5 champion. They deserved to go.

Agree. We had a playoff level defense and special teams but our offense is nowhere near championship level.

OU had neither, no play off level offense nor defense.

Some of you are simply stupid.

We were the 4th best, LSU will do to Clemson what they did to us.

In the end, we just played them first.

We will end the year ranked 4th in all polls.

lol that's rich coming from you

We were the 4 the best,


says who? You are what your resume says. YOu want so say we were the "best" based on your own personal eye test and your biased feelings. This is why the cfb regular season is the best in sports; you have 13 weeks to build your case on why you belong. And a 2 loss team that didn't win their conference will never ever be able to solidly make that case.

quote:

LSU will do to Clemson what they did to us


ah, so clemson cleary isn't one of the 4 best either? So clemson and oklahoma now according to you shouldn't belong, so that leaves LSU, OSU, us, and who else? What 4th team shoudl have gone?

In simple terms you can understand, we will end the year ranked 4th in every single poll.

Clemson will also get blown out by LSU, clemsons schedule is weak paired with a blow out loss to LSU, who is to say. The big 10 sucked arse this year so we will never know if OSU was any good.

We were the only team that could beat OSU or Clemson. Not saying would have, could have.

where you finish the season has n.o.t.h.i.n.g to do with which teams deserved to make the playoffs.

so again, answer the question of which 4 teams should have made the playoffs? You keep himhawing around and it sounds like you think it really should have just been us vs lsu again for the title.

The top 4 deserving teams make the playoffs. By design, 3 of them will incur another loss. If the 5th and 6th place teams win their bowl, most likely they will pull ahead of at least one of the top 4. That doesn't mean the original selection of the top 4 was incorrect. In an elimination playoff, there have to be losses.

Dude, no one is arguing we won’t be #4 when it’s over. But going into the playoffs, we already had two losses, OU didn’t. It’s that simple.

Don’t lose to shite teams like South Carolina and yeah, it’s a different story.

LSU, OSU, Clemson, UGA.

The sec is just that much better than any thing else and deserves two teams in a year like this.

OU/Baylor, we beat or would have beat them with our b team for frick sakes.

If ou was deserving the game would have been close and they would stay ranked four and us five.

They embarrassed themselves and the committee.

The playoff committee's goal is to pick the top 4 team at the end of the season, they only got the top three....

Basically the BiG12 should be removed from the power 5 and made a mid major.

This. Some people don't understand that there is a loser in each of the playoff games. Each loser potentially drops out of the top 4 rankings depending on how badly they lost. Since OU was ranked 4th, they obviously would drop out of the top 4 with a blowout loss.

Some people don't understand that there is a loser and winner in a bowl game as well.

OU was the worst selection in the history of the playoffs two years in a row. Destroyed by Bama and LSU.

Blowout loss...... Not playoff worthy, not mutually exclusive....

Certainly, so will Clemson.

My point is as it pertains to Clemson, OSU, ou, Oregon, wisconsin, we would have a better chance of beating them, than any of them would have beating LSU.

We just played LSU first.

OU was never competitive this year or last, and it's time for the BiG12 to no longer be rewarded for midmajor level play.

It is also the four best teams, not most deserving.

no matter how many times you stick your fingers in your ears and try to make this be reality, it isn't.
