in what world would UGA be ahead of Ole Miss in this scenario based on head to head? Wouldn't Ole Miss have to be ahead of UGA as a 2 loss team as they beat them by 3 possessions?
Of course you are dumb enough to ignore 11 of the 12 games

I'm not ignoring the other games.
UGA struggled with Kentucky, lost to Bama (were getting blown out for much of the game), got blown out by Ole Miss, struggled far too long with Miss. St., and struggled for 3 quarters against UF.
Are you ignoring 1/2 their schedule to decide they have looked good?
They've looked good in 2 games this entire season, Texas and Clemson

I think much of that is why the SEC is pushing for 4 automatic bids (though they should be pushing for 5 maybe even 6).
Off topic, but Bama and Texas are the only teams in college football that have a QB with playoff experience returning.

That’s more than can be said for a lot of teams in the playoff discussion.
Forget Alabama and OM. A theoretically 10-2 UGA should be ranked above (at least) PSU, Indiana (assuming 11-1 with loss to OSU), Miami, and quite possibly Texas. None of those teams have a significant win to date.
If you leave 10-2 UGA out, the lesson will be to schedule as easy as possible and just rack up cheap wins.

Ehh not really. Most people for month have seen that UGA isn't that good. They have had too many close games with inferior opponents. Yes you beat an over rated Clemson team and a good Texas team on a bad day.
Texas went from our offense looking god awful against Georgia to looking really good the following games, Georgia's offense still looks like they're playing in the G5.

The whole thing is a joke really. You have teams playing nobody getting in while punishing the teams that play tough schedules.
Why play a tough schedule?
Which was one of the main purposes of the playoff expansion. Welcome to "fair".

Great, we got 300 million from ESPN and now it's a streaming service.

Do they look good, or are they just playing bad teams again?
Again, Texas, PSU, Miami, and Indiana all have zero notable wins halfway through November and are highly ranked anyway. Clearly SOS takes a backseat to pure winning %, which is a shame for fans who want to see strong OOC games long-term. Scheduling Clemson rather than East Tennessee Tech clearly did not help UGA in the playoff committee’s eyes, even though they won.

My argument is I don't think they should be ahead of Ole Miss. Ole Miss just beat them down by 3 possessions in November.
If you end up with both being 10-2, I don't understand how ESPN says UGA gets a 99% chance to be in an Ole Miss is in the 80s.
I am not arguing that PSU and potentially Indiana are not deserving. It would have been the same type of convo if Missouri ended up 11-1. There are too many teams in these conferences to where you can somehow dodge a lot of the good ones from year to year.

When did Texas play a good team?

The issue will be that there will be conflicting head-to-head results involving other teams.

They played one and lost by two TDs at home.

I don't think any two loss non-conf champ is a lock. It's a chaos season. Just waiting for the shitty divisional conferences to all have some silly 3+ loss teams create an upset in a CCG and sneak their way in somehow. It's a dumb system.
Why invest in a committee designed to evaluate and put the best in, then establish rules for a G5 and guaranteed byes? Football doesn't and will not ever have the parity of other sports at the collegiate level.
Final 12 should be the final 12 regardless of conference affiliation

Are you saying the team that barely beat the Gators and MSU (the same team we blew out by 30 and 22) is good?

personally think 10-2 with the schedule we had to play would not even be up for discussion.
Has to be appalling to see Indiana and Miami float through with their cream puff schedules only to be blown the frick out in the first round.

On a relative scale, yes.

@ 10-2 they are. Other teams will cannibalize each other and Georgia will end up somewhere in the 8-12 range if not higher.

Leave it to Texas fans to shite-talk a team that beat the shite out of them at home for 4 quarters.
