Wow, quite a turnaround from last time.  

As for the playoff, they don't strictly pick the "best 4 teams", it's a 50/50 combination of 'best 4 teams' and 'resume'.  Wisconsin isn't one of the best 10 teams in the country, but their resume is good because of the zero in the loss column.  
USC, Alabama, and Ohio State are all top-5 quality-wise, but all are on the outside looking in because their resumes are lacking.  You could go 10-deep with teams that would be favored vs. Wisconsin by Vegas, and yes that means something.

Obviously a great win for Dawg fans, and the seniors who came back who could have been in the NFL.

Auburn played tough and just faded late, the score didn't indicate how close the game was, and Johnson's being hurt was clearly a factor.  Gus did a good job trying to play around that.

The turnovers were also key.  The zebras made three really bad calls IMHO including a late hit OB on Auburn that looked like a nothing to me.

That Auburn front 7 is pretty serious I think.

I suspect UGA will face OU and I tend to doubt they can "manage" that QB they have sufficiently well unless they can mount long sustained drives and keep him on the bench.

In "other news", Chubb became the #2 rusher in SEC history yesterday.  The number three rusher at Georgia is Sony Michel, which is pretty solid company considering they did it at the same time.

RTDB.

Congratulations, Dawg fans and especially you Cincy.  You guys have waited a long time to get here and you have a fine team.  
I expect UGA and my Sooners to meet up and I am looking forward to an exciting game.

What a great game, especially for the seniors who came back this year. 
The offensive game plan was much better this time around. More sweeps, more throws on 1st down. 
#74 Cleveland made a big difference at RG than Kindley did in the first game. 
A limited Kerryon Johnson certainly helped, but we didn't see much out of the other backs that Malzahn said they had confidence in. 
Fromm looked good. 
Roquan Smith is just a stud at LB. (going to miss him next year)

Really happy with the performance on Saturday and for a chance at OU in the playoffs. Should be a good game and a great challenge for our defense.

Having confidence in a guy to fill a role is quite different than equating them to the best back in the league.  Auburn doesn't have any other players like a healthy Kerryon My Wayward Johnson, and neither did any other SEC teams this year.

Gratz to the Dawgs!! They earned that one. I wish AU had just a couple less injuries (and TOs) but such is life in the SEC--attrition is a big part of late season success.

Georgia was easily the best SEC team, all-around, this year.

There aren't many backs like him, for sure, I was just going by what Coach Malzahn said in several interviews about having confidence in them. Cam Martin and Malik Miller only had 6 carries between them on Saturday.

Kerryon Johnson got my vote for Gutty Performance.  He is slippery and has good vision and can run in traffic.  He could have sat that out and not risked further injury or damage to an NFL career, but he went out there and did his best.  That was impressive.

It was a great win for UGA with excellent adjustments from game one. I believe Auburn's last four games were just too much for them to handle both mentally and physically. Both of Auburn's fumbles and the blocked FG were all when the game was within seven points either way. It was a close game, but, as you said, Auburn definitely faded at the end.

Congrats UGA fans....
