The Georgia Bulldogs could have beaten the Alabama Crimson Tide by a million points on Saturday evening, and it would not have mattered. The College Football Playoff Selection Committee was dead-set on making sure the Big Ten loser was not going to fall that far. With underdog Indiana beating favored Ohio State, they switched places, and the committee called it a day on that front...
So while Georgia may have been disrespected by the Selection Committee for not moving up a spot as a Power Four conference champion who avenged its lone loss on the campaign, it may have actually worked out quite well in the Bulldogs' favor.
