The committee let the bama Texas game dictate the whole playoff

I agree. Texas wouldn’t have beaten Bama later in the season and they did lose to a bad Oklahoma team. UGA is amoung the 4 best EASILY.

Texas is the darling of ESPN due to their long partnership with the Longhorn Network. They will always push for Texas to get ahead. ESPN is the one who has started that Texas is back nonsense every summer for the last 15 years. ESPN is the one who got Texas into the SEC. ESPN is the one who helped Texas get a very easy first SEC conference schedule next year. The only hard team they play is Georgia and that’s at home. Go back and look at Missouri and Aggie schedule from their first season in SEC back in 2012. Big difference in strength of schedule compared to what Texas has in 24.

Texas gonna get blasted, and they will realize they screwed Georgia

EXACTLY!! they painted themselves in a corner with the whole head to head bullshite.. they thought UGA would beat Bama.

Criteria from CFP Selection Committee Protocol (LINK )

quote:

---

The selection committee will select the teams using a process that distinguishes among otherwise comparable teams by considering:

* Conference championships won,

* Strength of schedule,

* Head-to-head competition,

* Comparative outcomes of common opponents (without incenting margin of victory), and,

* Other relevant factors such as unavailability of key players and coaches that may have affected a team’s performance during the season or likely will affect its postseason performance.

Criteria #1: Conference championships won
Texas won a conference title; UGA did not.

Criteria #2: Strength of schedule
Texas #2; UGA #45

Criteria #3: Head-to-head competition
N/A

Criteria #4: Comparative outcomes of common opponents
Texas defeated Alabama; Georgia lost to Alabama

Criteria #5: Other relevant factors such as unavailability of key players and coaches that may have affected a team’s performance during the season or likely will affect its postseason performance
Could write up some stuff for each but ultimately a wash. Each have injuries during the season and banged up players heading into the playoffs. It is a long season in a full contact sport, nobody is 100% healthy.



So, yeah, it is pretty obvious why they didn't make the field over Texas.

Here’s how stupid the CFP committee’s rankings are. An undefeated conference champ FSU wasn’t good enough to be in the top 4. However, they were still better than Georgia who dropped 5 spots after a 3 point loss. Glad that clown show is ending

We played a tougher schedule than UGA and beat the team they lost to by 10 at their place. This isn’t difficult. Take all of the shots you want at Texas ‘s underachievement over the last decade, but this is a totally different team. I’m not thrilled about playing Bama again with Saban having a month to prepare, but I would argue that the Horns have advantages over both the Tide and the Dawgs at most position groups. This our most talented team since 2008 (better than the 2009 runner up).

It’s the best team I’ve seen us have in the trenches since then by far!
