So if UGA gets put in do they have to beat Bama twice?

If not, why not?

So they played a really good game for 7/8th of the game... so did the Citadel...for 1/2 a game.

I understand the mantra is the 4 best teams but at some point you have to earn it on the field. Losing in a blowout to an average LSU team and then pissing away a 14 point lead to Alabama is not earning it.

Also is the Sec championship a post season game? If you said yes name me a sport that plays one game not a series that if you lose you get to continue in that post season.

Yep, it's not just the four best teams looking only at their highest potential without other considerations taken into account. UGA lost badly to LSU and OSU got taken to the woodshed by Purdue and were a bad pass away from losing to MD. Twice allowing right at 50 to be laid on them. Having a 2 loss team over several 1 loss teams is really pushing it.

Georgia lost to LSU in a blowout, then lost their conference championship. Ohio State got blown out by Purdue then won their conference championship after destroying a 3rd ranked Michigan team. Politics must have kept OSU out too seeing as how they seem to always be the non-SEC team ESPN wants to promote. Jawja would have been in had they handled business in Baton Rouge.

Hey, Herbstreit is a Clemson fan boy. I think his kids are going there.


Don't be a hater.

If it hadn’t been a huge blowout against LSU, I’m thinking they get in.

[Palmetto Duck]

Had they beaten LSU they would be in. No question.

The more I think about it the more it makes sense to do away with Conference Championship game altogether and just move to a 8 team playoff. I mean, why not? You talk about money? Would Clemson be making more in a QF game against a 5, 6 or 7 ranked Ohio St or Oklahoma, or even GA team, or whoever was the first loser that won the Coastal Division?

And the SEC cronies might even get to say how 3 SEC teams made it the playoffs this year and beat their chest even harder.

That's the only way to a bigger playoff field. Let the higher ranked team host the lower seed at their stadium for the opening round.

I think it dilutes the field to much to go to an 8 team playoff. No one has ever won the national championship from outside the 1 or 2 spot. Also no national champion ever has had a blowout loss like Purdue and Ohio state, EVER. The 8 ranked team does not deserve to be in the playoff. The committee got it right do not fix what is not broken.

Bama was #4 last year.

I say it’s the 5 conference champs and one wild card team . 1 & 2 get a 1st round bye and go from there.

In that we get to argue GA or UCF.

[SCDAWG]

The team that nobody is talking about, is the team that Clemson gets first. Don't even bullshit about it doesn't matter who you play. Clemson is glad they got ND instead of Georgia.
The committee should have made a statement by kicking ND out. Force their hand to join a conference. I honestly believe you would have seen an all SEC national championship........again. A rematch would make people tired of the SEC dominance. I am good with Georgia not being picked. They should have taken care of business at LSU.
It sucks to have to play your way in watching Clemson play a 7-5 Pitt and ND sitting at home knowing they are already in.

Explain to me how clemson could've gotten Georgia? I mean, they're not even in it, right?

I'll hang up and listen while you hang on to your dreams....

If you read the article... Kirk proposed that UGA should be ranked #3, which means they would be playing Clemson.

So wait you lose and not only do you get in you move up, he’s lost his mind on that thinking. That’s dumb as hell.

They don't care about the article, even though it makes a lot of sense. They got to the playoffs playing virtually nobody. They have been praying for a 1st round matchup with ND for 6 weeks. That's their MO.
They also are tickled ,like last year, they are not facing Georgia. They know Georgia is better than Clemson. They whole football world saw it last year and will see it again shortly. Georgia is the only team that can hang with Alabama.

Georgia lost to a banged up Bama playing its C game. Clemson’s probably going to lose to them too if they can beat ND. Clemson doesn’t care who they play, get that through your heads. They aren’t scared of any team, they’ve played in more big games the last few years than any team in the country besides Bama. You mouthbreathers sound like 5akkerliner and Jawja fans.

Why are you so upset? This is just another opportunity to pull for y'all boys favorite SEC team.
