Georgia is out

But they were the #1 team right up until last night at 11 PM.  2-time defending champs.  How do you leave them out?

These are actual conversations I'm hearing on ESPN right now.

Georgia in, FSU and Texas out.  It makes sense, because SEC.

What SHOULD be and what WILL be are often not the same.

UGA should be out.

AP poll P5 teams ranking order, by number of losses:
0
0
1 - Texas
0 - FSU
1
1
1
2
2
2
2
2
3
3
3
3
3
3
4
4
4
.
So unless your carrying-his-team-on-his-back star QB is out for the season, it's just number of losses.  And even then, we just move you down 1 spot.
Schedule doesn't matter AT ALL.
MOV doesn't matter AT ALL.
Honest to god, give the vote to a 2nd-grade class.

this is true
because the SEC is accustomed to having 2 teams in the playoff
but, not this season
because, FSU, Washington, & Michigan are undefeated

And Georgia over FSU.  Which is probably the right call.  FSU wasn't all that great even with their starter, the ACC is just terrible.

Ha!  No.  Surprised for sure, but I'm tickled pink.

I like this field, I think any of these 4 teams could beat any of the others.  Should be a lot of fun.

I'm happy for Texas.  College football is best when the bluebloods are good.

Back to the AP poll real quick......this AP poll is the first time Michigan is ranked #1 since 1997.  
That astounds me.
