Because if you're in the SEC it's a rule that you can't be punished for a 13th data point. Anyone else is subject to 3 loss punishment.
If it were up to ESPN, the SEC would have 8 teams in the playoff. Georgia is safely in.
But if they lose that they have 3 losses and needed 8 OTs to beat a team outside of the mighty SEC. That should disqualify them based on espn talking heads downplaying the acc and big 12
Think the head of committee has pretty much said they aren't going to penalize the loser of the Conference Championship games much. Don't want to reward the teams that didn't even qualify to play the title game.
As it was, they only converted 1 of their 8 2 pt attempts...so chances are they wouldn't have converted that one either and would have lost there.
Producer to Tessitore's headset "hey Joe, remind the audience again that if Georgia scores here they are in the playoffs"
It's quite comical how much ESPN roots for the SEC now. They don't even pretend to be non-biased anymore.
Yeah, I just laughed after that one. Two horrible teams with horrible fans just embarrassing themselves on national TV with atrocious football…. it was awesome and hilarious!
I can’t even imagine sitting through that s**t show? Couldn’t pay me to do that.

If you’re 1) an underdog 2) on the road 3) who just gave up a double-digit lead 4) while fumbling twice in the final minutes to nearly give the game away and who then 5) won the toss in OT, was on offense last, and then scored to be down one point … I’d say the “metrics” (and common sense) would be strongly in favor of ending the game right there with a 2-point try. Worst case scenario is Tech loses (which is what they did anyway).
Of course, if their “best” 2-point play was that WR screen that Georgia recognized from the formation and knew was coming before the snap, maybe not …
How I see it:
Big10 - 4 (UO,OSU,PSU,UI)
SEC - 3 (UT,GA,UT)
ACC - 3 (SMU,UM,Clem)
Big12 - 1 (ISU)
MW - 1 (BSU)
Ind - 1 (ND)
I don’t see a lot of drama this week. Maybe the Clemson / SC game? But if Clemson takes care of SC, I don’t see the committee jumping Bama over them. They just could not make up a story to cover it, no matter how they tried. I also see them try really hard to not penalize losers in the CCG’s. So both Miami and SMU are in with a loss.
IF A&M runs the schedule, it’ll be Indiana that loses a spot before Clemson or Bama.
I do wish the TV partners would setup a soccer style schedule and play all conference games at the same time slot. Big10 11:00 (no impactful games), Big12 2:30, SEC 6:30. At least the games that have impact on the CCG’s.

I'm not sure if it was discussed but targeting should have been called on Georgia in regulation when GT went for it on 4th and 1 and the QB fumbled. Georgia guy cam in and lead with his head and blew up the GT QB.
Why is everyone talking like ESPN is handling picking these teams for the playoffs?
The games are actually on.......checks notes........TBS?? I don't know what that has to do with Espn.

It’s about increasing value of their investment into the SEC. The better the SEC does, the more interest they get and thus more viewership. For how much they paid for the SEC, they need it to dominate the narrative of CFB.

Targeting? Against Georgia? In a game-turning moment? You must be new here …
