Georgia outgained TCU by 400 total yards.  Jesus.

UGA had OU scheduled and had to drop them in 2023.

Yeah I was just about to point that out.  It sucks and it doesn't look good for the back-to-back champs to have such a sugary soft schedule, but it's not really their fault. They had a forced last-minute cancellation with the Sooners, and their annual non-con rival tends to suck.  Otherwise their OOC is no worse than most.

Heck they played Oregon this year, and Clemson in 2021.  In general I consider Georgia to be one of the teams that does it right.

Though I doubt UGA fans care, what kind of sucks about this is that UGA is a really, really good team and hopefully will be remembered that way, but for some people out there like myself it will be hard to remember this without remembering what a weak obstacle they had to get there.  Great teams deserve great challenges to prove themselves to the world. 

As it is, Ohio State was their challenge, and I'll probably mainly remember that game for me thinking that OSU wins if Harrison and a couple others don't get hurt. 

Probably not fair to UGA, because I do think they're a really, really good team, but there you have it. 

This is enough to make me go the utee route and stop watching these things.

I was looking at that earlier. The difference between Georgia and TCU would have been a great game:
  • 58 points
  • 23 first downs
  • 401 yards
  • 183 yards passing
  • 218 yards rushing

I guess OSU and Michigan just didn't want to be there.

...which will probably take care of itself, as OU is the main culprit, and once they join the SEC they won't have to worry about any more CFP appearances.

Texas certainly never wants to be there, since we've never managed to have a good enough team to get there.

I know all about the current state of the game and various teams, but the "lifetime fan" in me still finds it odd that that a handful of teams haven't made an appearance yet.  Among them, Texas, USC, Florida, and even Miami.  

(yeah, I know Miami has been irrelevant for 20 years, but as I say, the lifetime fan in me.)

I'm not disagreeing, just wanted to point out that in the CFP era, this has become common.

I remember thinking when Ohio State won the first one in 2014 that this list for Ohio State was at least close to the best ever (at the time).

Each CFP Champion has had wins over at least two of that year's final top-6:
  • 14 tOSU had wins over three of the top five.
  • 15 Bama had wins over wo of the top six.
  • 16 Clemson had wins over two of the top six and three of the top eight. 
  • 17 Bama had wins over two of the top four.
  • 18 Clemson had wins over two of the top five.
  • 19 LSU had wins over three of the top six and five of the top eight. 
  • 20 Bama had wins over three of the top five and four of the top seven.
  • 21 Georgia had wins over two of the top three.
  • 22 Georgia had wins over three of the top six.

Sucking sucks, as they say.
