Their best win technically would be over #23 Clemson, and then #25 Arky.    Other than Clemson, every win was by a substantial margin.  But they had a pretty light schedule.  I blame Florida for that. 


I know the committee prefers their ranking of course, but Clemson is not in the top 25 of the AP or Coaches

of course Clemson and/or Arkansas could lose another game

I'm surprised to see that Oklahoma State can play their way in.  They'd leapfrog ND, right?

Yeah, I think they would if they win out, unless Bama edges UGA.

It could hinge on the nature of the loss of course.  If UGA loses how they have lost in previous games with Bama, they would not drop out (presuming they beat tech).

But I think UGA is "in". 
What if they beat Bama, but barf up a game vs Tech?

I think they'd be in as a 12-1 SEC champ, but not No. 1

Tech is pretty bad though, I think the odds there are quite low.

what if a bunch of their top players decided to sit our the Tech game to protect against injury and then of course the rest of the team just really wasn't motivated?

That would be a factor, but I suspect the Dawg twos could beat Tech.  The backup QB is a former 5 star.  And apparently their injured players are getting healthy, George Pickens could be back for the CG, he's a factor on the outside.

Will George Pickens play in SEC Championship Game? Signs point to yes (fansided.com)

And now your snarkiness has compared a hapless GT team with a top G5 team.  

You guys aren't good at this.  Your only fans are each other.

He's posing an amusingly improbable scenario.  It's not snarky, he's noting it's possible UGA could lose to Tech, but might take a bizarre situation.

We do that around here, sort of chat about scenarios and make comments.

I don't have the heart to explain it.

I probably lack the brains to understand if you did of course.

Speaking of which, who had ND played, aside from Cincy?

They do have multi-touchdown wins over Purdue and Wisconsin, though they did beat Toledo by a field goal when they upped the competition.

They have three 3 point wins over:

VaTech
FSU
Toldeo

If they make the CFP I expect a repeat of the past.
