Why should Georgia still be in the playoff? They'll have the same amount of losses as Texas without a conference title.

If Florida State wins, they'll also have a conference title.

There's no point having these title games if there's no consequences to losing.

This QB for Alabama has had an amazing improvement from where he was at the start of the season.

It's going to be awesome with 12 teams next year. The 13th team out can bitch all they want.

That said, if this result stays as is, I'd go:
1. Michigan
2. Washington
3. Texas
4. Alabama

If Georgia wins:
1. Georgia
2. Michigan
3. Washington
4. Texas

No matter what Florida State does, I'd leave them out. I don't think they're one of the four best teams in the country.

It won't be awesome. There will be too many blowouts. College doesn't have the NFL's parity. Remember last year's title game? Four teams is about right.

You could easily argue why should Georgia drop 4 spots for losing to an Alabama team that will presumably be ranked in the top 4. FSU has played nobody on this level all season and they should get rewarded for that?

I don't think FSU could beat Georgia. However, I see this no differently than a weak division winner getting an automatic playoff spot in the NFL or MLB. Those are the rules.

If Georgia doesn't need to win this game, that cheapens it. It's supposed to be a conference title game. Not an exhibition for one of the teams.

Except there are people voting on/selecting these spots so it's not like that at all?

I understand. Just saying how I would vote.

Otherwise, you could pencil Georgia into the playoff before the season began. They're likely one of the nation's top 4 teams. Same with Michigan.

I'll put it this way, if the point of the selection committee is to select the four best teams in the country, how is Georgia not among them regardless of the outcome here?

Is that not the point of the committee?

I disagree. It adds more meaning to games than just bowl appearances where all the top players sit out to protect their draft status.

Fair enough, but I don't watch the Bowl games besides the playoff. Maybe the Rose Bowl, but that's about it.

You could argue they're not if they lose this game. Hard argument considering how dominant they've been the last few seasons, but that's supposed to be irrelevant. We're evaluating this year only.

He thinks the top 4 teams are in the SEC based on recruiting rankings. Games don't matter. Doesn't matter that the SEC was the worst conference vs other non conference power 5 games this year.

* Edit, big 10 was one game worse.

Why do they play these games? They're antiquated since the playoffs started.

Because of money.

Oops.

I don't think anything. I just want chaos and I think there's a decent argument for both to be in as the top 4 teams if Bama wins.

How you lose definitely matters, too. This could still change, but if Georgia loses and continues to play like this, I don't think there's any way they're in and Texas isn't.

Little too slick on the handoff. Bama about to win it here.

If Alabama, FSU, and Michigan win there will be chaos. No way an undefeated FSU is left out regardless of whether they are one of the four best or not. The fourth spot is gonna be interesting with UGA, Texas, Alabama, and tOSU all having legit arguments for that final spot. This is why there has been so much noise from the SEC and teams about it being ridiculous to not have a SEC team in the playoffs.

Carson Beck is pretty goddamned shitty.

A loss to Alabama in the SEC title game is better than losing to OU

Um did I just see a tranny cheerleader for Alabama?

I would be a lot more surprised if an SEC champion was left out of the CFP than if an undefeated Florida State was.

This game just tightened up.

Oh look, it’s Great Value Skip Bayless being edgy again.

Let’s say Alabama wins as does FSU, do you put Alabama over FSU?

That should just about do it for Alabama

Getting real close to total chaos.

Real close.

You can't justify Georgia over Alabama. You can't justify Alabama over Texas. You can't justify OSU over all of them as they didn't even play this weekend. The only way an SEC team gets in is if they manage to convince themselves that an undefeated FSU gets left out.

It’s a testament to the talent and coaching on UGA that they are undefeated and in the SECCG as he really is not that good.

CFB committee is going to be praying for a Louisville win tonight.

Exactly why I think chaos ensues if Alabama wins.

Bowers really needs to be a Chief.

Taking way too long to get 3-4 yards.

Georgia calling timeout down two scores LMAO

Oh my if he was a Chief.

Running the longest plays if you don’t make it to get guys unpiled and lined back up

Took a long time and a time out to get that.

Yes, please

Sure you can. Texas shouldn't lose to a joke team like OU if they want to get in the playoff.

That false start which cost UGA a FG in the first half looming very large now.

I guess this would mean something if TCU had beaten Georgia earlier that season? Otherwise I don't see the relevance to a Texas v Alabama debate.

And Alabama lost by two scores at home to that Texas team.

Definitely not a Texas fan but putting Alabama in over Texas would be wrong.

Good God Georgia lmao.

Georgia wishes they had that third time out now.

College rules are so weird. If you're trailing and get a first down late in the game, the clock stops. If you're ahead, it doesn't.

Like what the hell?

I would like this a lot!

That’s game.

Oh Bama… this will be chaos.

Game

the playoff is now in turmoil

He fumbled.

Probably shouldn't be using one of your timeouts on offense down two scores with less than 3 minutes to go, no.

Why in the world would you run anything there?

Sent from my SM-S906U1 using Tapatalk

Why is Alabama even running plays right now? Saban is dumb as hell too.

All eyes on Louisville and Iowa.

Gary D such an SEC homer.

Let the playoff selection drama begin. Texas is probably the weakest team but they won by 10 on the road at Alabama. If you don't put them in over Alabama there's no point in playing the games. Just don't play any of the games and put the most talented teams in and be done with it.

Gotta hand it to Saban. He took that QB and made a helluva run at the CFP.

Mario Cristobal would.

Now for Michigan and FSU to beat the patsies they're playing and we've got some epic chaos.

Texas convincingly beat Alabama at Alabama… doesn’t matter when it was… that has to be the deciding factor.

CBS gives this up for Iowa/Wisconsin games next season.

For shits and giggles, go Iowa and Louisville.

Washington and Texas should be locks now.

There are going to be a LOT of ER visits for wives in rural Georgia tonight.

Alabama has the best win of anyone in the country now and they are SEC champions. I wouldn't be betting on Texas making it over them myself.

Nah, that would take the fun out of it entirely.

ESPN has always been the SEC slobberknocker

No one wants to see FSU in the CFP with their second or third string QB.

Go Louisville.

I think it's possible but if you do that there's no point in playing the actual games. It's all just math at that point. Alabama had their chance to ensure a bid and they lost by double digits.

Also, Bama’s loss is better than Texas’s loss.

The interesting part is that Texas is Bama’s loss.

Bama has the best win of the two and the better loss.

I think the Committee picks Bama.

You could say the same thing about Texas losing to OU.

There's no "right" answer here. It's just who the committee thinks are the four best teams (and my guess is they go with Bama based on their track record with the SEC).

You have to talk about the elephant in the room bots. Alabama has made a name for itself with this game!

If Alabama’s loss is better, doesn’t that validate Texas’ case even more since that “quality loss” was to Texas?
