Herbstreit saying UGA being left out of the playoffs was more about "politics". aggy defending SECSECSEC.
Question asked by another user:
"In regards to this, I have a serious question: does UGA or Clemson get in if Clemson had lost to Pitt?"

I'm not the guy you responded to, but in your hypothetical...UGA, all day. Clemson's schedule was pathetic. They lose any games and they drop below even a 2 loss UGA in my mind.
I think UGA is a better team than OSU or OU, but there was no way in hell the committee was going to snub a 1 loss conference champ on UGA's behalf. That's why Herb is calling it politics, because he thinks UGA is the better team but the committee won't pull the trigger because the fallout and cries of "SEC bias" would be overwhelming.
UGA now looks better than the UGA that lost to LSU; the D is top notch and they can run or throw with efficiency. OU now doesn't look any different than the OU that lost to UT though; the defense is still a dumpster fire and the running game is one dimensional. The OSU now doesn't look any different than the OSU that lost to Purdue either; their D is still suspect and they rely on the passing game to get it done.
Herb's a bit abrasive about it, but I agree with him. They left UGA out because they can't afford to piss off the Big 12 and Big 10. I'm honestly surprised they slid UGA ahead of OSU to be honest.
