Famous oddsmaker, Danny Sheridan, says UGA would've been favored over everyone in CFP

Georgia would've been favored over Michigan (-2).
Georgia would've been favored over Alabama (-3).
Georgia would've been favored over Washington (-5).
Georgia would've been favored over Texas (-7).
Per the AJC....
Sheridan, like College Football Hall of Famer Steve Spurrier, questioned how a Georgia team that had been ranked No. 1 throughout the season could suffer such a dramatic fall in the rankings after a close, 3-point loss.
“If the CFP Committee were objective/credible,” Sheridan stated, “you don’t rank a team (No.) 1 all year, then when they lose to Alabama drop them out. The last team with the ball wins that game, and UGA wins if they stop Alabama from running the clock out.”
Sheridan said if Georgia had played at full strength against Florida State the score would have been even more lopsided than the record-breaking 63-3 margin already was with Smart pulling starting quarterback Carson Beck out at halftime and utilizing four quarterbacks.
This year's CFP has been a fluke, a devious concocted setup in order to break the SEC and keep Georgia from winning an unprecedented (and thus further cementing the SEC's dominance in college football) third national title in-a-row. Plain and simple.

I don't doubt at all that Georgia would be favored and would be capable of beating everyone in the playoffs on a given day. But that doesn't change the fact that UGA didn't earn the right to be there by losing to Alabama.

that's a pretty retarded take. There was nothing done with the intention to stick it to UGA.

uga couldn't beat a running back playing qb. they don't deserve anything

The best team doesn't always win. It's a one and done deal. UGA didn't get it done this time. It happens.

Here is the problem.
Step 1: Bama has to be in if you put UGA in, same record, H2H win
Step 2: With Bama in, UT ALSO has to be in for the same reason
Now you have THREE undefeated P5 champions you have to decide from and you'd have to leave out two of them. That aint happening.

the problem is that the committee reversed course and did a total 180 on how they selected the previous 9 years.
-The first 9 years they picked most deserving/best resume. There is no debate and no argument on this, it's black and white. If they picked the same way, UGA would definitely be left out because we didn't win our conference and there were enough 0/1 loss teams ahead of us. I have no issues wiht that.
-This year, for the first time, they went wiht "best" teams. The ol' eye test. They left an undefeated P5 chyamp out (FSU) because lately they sucked arse and bama was a better team than that current/QB-less version of FSU. Ok...so if it's "best team" how can you say UGA is left out? They were #1 every single week of the season. They won 29 of the last 30 games. They beat two top 10 teams. Then they lose a 3 point squeaker to a playoff caliber oponent. You're saying there's 4 better teams than that one? And if your counterpoint to that is "well Texas had 1 loss and won their conference and bama beat uga and etc etc"...now you're incorporating route #1 into this (best resume). Is it best resume or best team? beacuse if it's best resume we shouldnt' have amde it. If it's best team, there aint no way there's 4 better teams.
In other words...the committee completely and utterly bungled this thing by not keeping their metholdology straight. Also FTR- I'm not advocting that we should have made teh playoffs. I'm just saying that this year the committee really sucked.

The main consistency is they went with conference winners. UGA had zero chance in a year where every P5 conference championship winner had 1 loss or less. Just wasn't gonna happen.
IF you want to argue that FSU should have stayed in, sure, but in no way, shape or form was UGA getting in.

right, which makes sense, but by doing that they're signaling that they're using option 1. Best resume. If the mindset is "look we're only taking champions of P5 conferences", then you can't justify bama over FSU because FSU went undefeated. So by picking bama over FSU, they're saying "well bama is clearly better than FSU right now". Which was obviously true btw, I'm not aruging that. But by saying that, they're now shifting to option 2- best team. But if you're selecting "best team" then logically it's ridiculous to put uga at 6.

wasn't UGA favored over bama in the SECCG?

But its not an absolute in either direction and never has been. In a year where all the conference winners had 1 loss or less, it was always going to be from that group. Has the committee ever put in a non-conference champion in and left out a P5 conference champion with 1 loss or less?
