Yes, Alabama and Georgia both belong in the College Football Playoff
Yahoo ^ | December 1, 2018 | Pat Forde

Put them both in the playoff. Alabama is in. But Georgia should be in as well. Yes, with two losses. Yes, as a non-conference champion. Yes, despite the résumés of Oklahoma and Ohio State. Georgia is good enough to overcome all that. The howls of outrage will echo across the Midwest, the Southwest and everywhere else where fans hate the thought of the Southeastern Conference gobbling up half the playoff for the second straight year. The political pressure against it would be immense — and let’s face it, college athletic administrators are political animals. The College Football Playoff selection committee would be shutting out 60 percent of the Power Five from the four-team playoff, which would cause enough backlash that it could actually alter the sport.

The Dawgs looked great for three quarters and blew it in the fourth.

If we had a real play off system, they would be out as the first SEC loser. Only league champions should be in.

I’m no fan of Bama but they do have a great team, no doubt about it, and will be rooting for them against the Irish.

Ga is a very good team

Agreed. Last night was UGA’s chance to get in, played IN GEORGIA no less, and they lost.

Had they beaten LSU earlier, maybe. But they didn’t.

UGA is a very good football team. But there’s a whole big world out there West of the Mississippi River and North of the Appalachians.

Done. Settled. They’re out. Case CLOSED. Next.

Oh please. What drivel thou hast wrought. Lots of words, authoritatively stated and very very wrong.

I think Georgia is one of the four best teams, but they shouldn’t be in the playoffs because of two losses. And 12-1 Ohio State shouldn’t be in because of their 29 point loss to 6-6 Purdue and other code calls to poor teams.

Fourth team should be UCF or Oklahoma.

Excellent post but everyone hates the Dawgs and the rest don’t know football. Oh well let them keep rigging college football. We will never have a even good college playoff can’t be done unless it’s like the pros.

The very rule you have to win your conference ensures the best teams won’t ever play each other. Dawgs won their side the east but that doesn’t count. But hey How about them Dawgs yesterday against #1 in the nation. Bama, Dawgs and Clemson are the best teams. Noconference Norte Dame huh yeah

Y’all come on down or we go up and play these 3 teams, will beat everyone. GoDawgs

If a team doesn’t win their conference, they shouldn’t be in there.

Yes. And in addition: why should Alabama have to give a rematch to a team it just beat?

Do y’all not know Georgia won the SEC East and Bama won the West. So all y’all saying Dawgs didn’t win their conference uh yes they did, how many other conferences have two playoff games. NONE

So we in the south have our own national championship, before we even think about the rest of the country come on down. Have some sweet tea...lol

Put OK in.... they have more than made up for their misstep against TX earlier this year... OS lost to Purdue by 29... no way they deserve a shot....

I would love to see OK go toe-to-toe with AL.... might be a classic....

Very good analysis. You will also note ever other team in the country won’t play our southern teams in regular season even for a million dollars that we pay them, they want to stack their schedule for undefeated seasons of each other bbbaaahhhaaa GoDawgs

NFL teams also play each other twice in regular season.

A lot of people thought the same thing when Alabama got a rematch with LSU several years ago.

Which is your team Mr POS can they compete with Clemson, that’s what I thought. Even Bama respects the Dawgs.
