I have a hard time envisioning that Georgia will be left out. But if they are included get ready for lawfare
We have 5 Power 5 Champions with an equal or greater record than UGA. And of these 6 teams, UGA has the lowest SOR
UGA is losing 3 tie-breakers here.
They are #6 at best
Yes you're probably right and nobody here is going to feel sorry for them. But it's tough to be #1 most of the year and a 3-point loss to mighty Alabama is your only blemish and you're left out in the cold.

They said no team that has been ranked #1 at any point in the playoff rankings has ever been left out. They also said no team rated 6 or lower has made the jump in. I think Texas and Bama are 7 and 8.

The issue is that they were gifted #1 without needing to prove it most of the year. They're clearly not what they were over the past couple seasons
Unprecedented group of teams to work with. The case for Bama is laid out by Stewart Mandel this morning: more top 25 wins than Texas/FSU and he thinks following the process the committee goes through that Bama will make it all the way to 3. His 4 were Michigan, UW, Bama, FSU, forcing us to take on Bama in the Sugar.
Which is bullshit. We better get FSU or the Rose Bowl. Having to play Texas or Bama in the Sugar would be horseshit.
What we need to hope for: SMU does not make the top 25 to replace Tulane and instead Utah comes back in. Another top 25 win for us. Oregon ends up no worse than 8 with tOSU at 7. Ideally these are flipped, not punishing Oregon for playing an extra game since they were ahead of tOSU last week. That’s enough to push us over Michigan and into the Rose. I hope.
Ideal standings: 1 UW 2 Mich 3 Texas 4 FSU
More likely: 1 UW 2 Mich 3 Bama 4 FSU
Meh but ok: 1 Mich 2 UW 3 FSU 4 Texas
Bullshit unless we’re playing in the Rose 1 Mich 2 UW 3 Bama 4 FSU

Wasn’t tOSU ranked number 1 for a week? They’re already out. Unprecedented but it could happen to 2 teams this year if tOSU was ranked at #1 at some point.
Old man thought of the morning, bowls -n- polls would nail this one, Washington & Michigan in Rose Bowl for the natty.
Yep. Hit me this morning too. The original bowl alignments would be very fulfilling. Georgia - FSU in Orange, Texas - Bama in Sugar, and what a Rose Bowl.

Michigan is the 1. They’ll pick the rose because they’ll be playing fsu or Bama (most likely Bama) and will not want to play either in NO.
UW will be the 2 and play Sark in the sugar bowl.
This is locked in now per the odds. Only uncertainty is Bama/fsu at 4. But looks like they’re gonna tell fsu to kick rocks
I'm hearing the odds mean Oregon won.
Odds on events that are selected by committees (ncaa bubble, cfp playoff) are a lot more spot on. Because there are self-important people in the room leaking info. Not comparable to game odds.
