I’m not reading that, but I agree Georgia is clearly one of the best 4 teams.

Not sure what you being a lawyer has to do with anything. I’m a lawyer too and can’t say that makes my opinions on college football worth listening to.

Short version: If 1-loss Alabama can get in over FSU, then 1-loss UGA should get in over Michigan.

Georgia's issue was that while they are objectively one of the 4 best they don't have an objectively top 4 resume and played a good but not great SoS. Combine that with no conference title and they weren't going to get in in a year like this.

Alabama (12-1), #4 SOR, #5 SOS, SEC Champ
Texas (12-1), #5 SOR, #13 SOS, BXII Champ

Ohio State (11-1), #6 SOR, #7 SOS, no champ
Georgia (12-1), #7 SOR, #37 SOS, no champ

The Bama v Georgia game was always winner take all.

It was a miracle you were allowed in after Bama blew your doors off in the SECCG 2 years ago.

quote:

Wins over ranked teams is a more appropriate evaluation of relative teams' strength. Georgia enjoyed dominating wins over #21 Tennessee, #11 Ole Miss, #9 Missouri, and lost by a FG to #4 Alabama. That is a more impressive resume than - as evidenced above - any team currently in the playoffs other than Alabama.


I don't disagree, but Michigan's 3 best wins (vs #7 Ohio State, @ #10 Penn St, N #17 Iowa) are "better" than Georgia's 2 best wins (vs #9 Mizzou, vs #11 Ole Miss, @ #21 Tennessee). So it kind of washes out, there. Then you throw in that Michigan is undefeated and Georgia isn't plus Michigan won the B1G and Georgia didn't win the SEC, and you can see where they fell the way they fell.

Comparatively, Alabama's 3 best wins (#6 UGA, #11 Ole Miss, #13 LSU) are much better than FSU's 3 best wins (#13 LSU, #15 Louisville, #22 Clemson), and like Georgia, Alabama's only loss is to a playoff team, while FSU didn't play a team in the Top 12 all season.

quote:

The fact that #8 Alabama was only granted a spot (and thus moved up four ranks) due to its victory over the #1 team proves that Georgia is indeed a playoff team. How else can one justify Alabama's rank advancement?


Rank advancement is irrelevant as the committee re-ranks the entire Top 25 from scratch each week. Can you argue that their previous rankings were silly? Obviously. Alabama and Texas being behind Oregon was always egregious based on the facts on the ground (not to mention Ohio State).



Long story short, I'm not saying I agree with them, but there is a reasonable argument for why Michigan is in and Georgia isn't.
