I like Ritch and can't blame him for trying to get in the game. Why wouldn't he try. UGA did play well late that season.
His argument isn't solid though. UGA was #4 before #1 and #2 lost, but also before the SECCG and other championship games were played. If you are going to ignore Conference Championship games all together then Missouri stays #1 and UGA is still left out. It's very arbitrary on his part to pretend the B12 Championship game should be considered, but the SEC (his own conference) shouldn't. How stupid is that.
Even if you don't put the extra value of LSU being Conference Champion (which is absurd but just to play along) you can't discard The Tigers won that extra game. 11-2 is better than 10-2 by winning percentage.
If that isn't enough before selection Sunday there was #5 Va Tech. The highest ranked team either UGA or LSU played. LSU not only won that game but completely demolished them. UGA didn’t have a win anywhere nearly as good as that one.
Outside trolling posters or Mark Ritch no one with credibility thought UGA belonged, specially not over LSU.
It's fun to re visit that year. What a crazy ride.

LSU was hobbled and running a bit on fumes late that season. Dorsey, Doucet and Flynn missed a lot of time, 3 key talented seniors. Others also missed time.
When healthy that team was pretty good. Va Tech and Ohio State showed that.
