UGA got cheated. I agree with Smart, the Committee needs to change their mantra to "the best four teams" in the country are not represented in the college playoffs.
Just let me say this, UGA would kick quempsum's backside to the ends of the earth and back.

The LSU game sealed their fate. They're in if they win that game and have a game like they had last night.
It's nuts how the cards always fall in place for Clemson.
UGA should be in the playoff because they almost beat Bama what a joke. Did anybody ask not so Smart about that great 4th and 11 fake punt call....
Jawga could beat any team in the playoffs even Bama with another shot at them.
Could, if, probably, maybe, they didnt earn it on the field.
It’s good karma from being magnanimous and forthright. Good luck on the 29th.
It's hard to leave out any power 5 team that won all their games regardless of the perceived level of their opponents
Totally agree,don't go to LSU as a favorite and lose by 20 and then cry about not getting in.
If anyone should have a gripe it's UCF not a 2 loss Georgia team.
UGA made us look like a JV team...we should have put up 49 on Clemson. UGA by 17 at least
Two loss teams have no business in the playoffs.
Isn't it great to build up something that you will not see play out?? At least get on the "Bama will kill Clemson train" or something. It's about that time of year.
Can we agree that Bama is the best team in the country, or at the very least the 2nd best? If so, then shouldn't they still go to the title game even if they lose to Oklahoma.
So is it an advantage to play in the SEC or not because I get confused?
Yes, the fact that Missouri was able to win the East 2 of their first 3 seasons in the MIGHTY SEC and how A&M was able to compete immediately (2nd in the West first season in SEC) after being middle of the pack in the Big 12 says it all. Quit acting like the reason Carolina is so bad every year is because of the "super tough" conference it plays in and the only reason Clemson is good is because its in the ACC. I get the ACC is really down this year, but the year Clemson won the title in 2016 it was against the nation's toughest schedule.
UGA deserved to be left out. 2 loss team and still lost to Bama in arguably Bama's worst performance in quite a while.
I believe UGA gave Bama its best shot and still lost. I'm on the side that if they played again it would be Bama in a rout.
not so sure, But NO ONE can disagree that UGA is one of the Top Four teams in the Country, Should a 2 loss team be in the Playoffs?? not if an Undefeated UCF isnt..
UGA didn't get cheated, they just played in their playoff game and lost. Should we award them an SEC participation trophy? Say, "well, you played great, lost to a great playoff team, so you should get another shot." ?

I think that UGA is one of the four best teams in the country. But i also think that it's fair to say that they got their crack at Alabama and lost. The CFB season is short. Teams only get 12-13 regular season games. Just getting the opportunity to play somebody is very valuable.
I think UGA is probably a little better than OU, but i think they are close enough that they would still be considered on the same tier. Why give UGA a 2nd opportunity against Bama when another team of a similar caliber hasn't gotten that opportunity at all yet?

Anyways, I thought y'all hate UGA? Why stick your nose out and say they were cheated? Shouldn't you be elated they got "screwed over"?
I can say the generally take on Georgia is not " a high degree of message board hate" like Clemson tends to be.
Most UGA posters come to talk football and don't piss everyone off.
My most hated SEC team is Tenn, since their fortunes when on the rise or on the fall seem to impact ours and yours to a degree when Clemson can go in to Tenn and get the elite player vs having them taken from SC like the late 90's and early 2000's. its a positive impact.
I like when Tenn sucks
Bama is beatable and Georgia proved it,let's just hope Clemson doesn't luck up and beat them.
Pareto's Law is quite something.
I would agree that UGA deserves to be there more than the sacrificial lamb known as Notre Dame.
UGA didn't fail to get in the CFP because of what occurred on Saturday. They rightfully didn't get in because of their loss to LSU. If they had won at LSU, they'd be in.
Well, which conference is the toughest conference in the land? It's the SEC by far. There are five SEC teams in my mind that could go undefeated in the a she she.
I agree with that. I think if UGA had beaten LSU and gone into that game 12-0 and #2 in the country they would've been on a tier above OU and worthy of getting in regardless of having already gotten a shot at Bama. That was kind of the point i was making. Both teams were close so OU deserved the nod. If UGA had beaten LSU I don't think both teams would've been considered close.
The way the playoff system works the team that loses is out. We aren't talking about the playoffs, we're talking about the getting into the playoffs.

Had Georgia not lost at LSU they may have gotten in had their only loss been to Bama but it doesn't matter because they had their opportunity and didn't capitalize on it.
2 likely would have this year (assuming they swap places with Clemson). Potentially LSU but they are prone to bad offensive outings and could drop a fluke game somewhere along the way. You are really going to have to sell me on the other 2. I get that you said "could" and not "would," but I don't think Florida or A&M would have a great shot at going 9-0 in any league, and Kentucky certainly wouldn't.
And this was a really, really bad year for the ACC. Just two years ago most people agreed it was the best conference in CFB. Now I'm not saying it's typically going to be competing for best conference title because i think most years it's going to be SEC #1 and B1G #2, but i also don't think the ACC is going to be this bad very often.
Yes, in 2018 for the 2017 season.
Three other playoff games still to be had for 2018, and UGA isn't part of the discussion this year because they lost their conference championship and also lost badly to LSU by 20.
.....and who would have thought that the ACC would be this bad after y'all bring in FSU, Miami, and VaTech. Should've brought in WVU, I guess.
