Would you have said the same thing about the SEC before yesterday's championship game?

The problem you're dealing with here is very common in any conference that has several good teams -- especially if the conference has multiple divisions and most of their best teams are in the same division. They often beat each other during the regular season, then a team with one or two losses in the regular season wins the conference championship game.

Is Georgia really the best team in the SEC, if they didn't have to play Alabama?

I think this whole situation is an argument against having multiple divisions in a conference. If a conference is too large to have every one of its teams play each other during the season, then it should be broken up into two or more smaller conferences. The last time Georgia won a national championship was in 1980, when Herschel Walker was a freshman. The SEC had ten teams that year. I don't see why the NCAA can't go back to conferences that size.
