I hate to piss in the SEC is better punch bowl, but the only reason the SEC always gets chances no other conference gets is because they play 8 conference games and in general, every SEC team has one less loss and one more win than everyone else. When the voters vote, they always see SEC teams as having better records and they get more benefit from beating each other than other conferences do.

Stanford lost chances to be in the playoff by losing to other division teams Utah and USC, equivalent games the SEC teams never ever play.

I can see an argument for having Alabama #1. There is no argument for me that justifies Georgia in a 4-team playoff. But, the only reason Michigan isn't #1 is because the committee didn't want a Georgia-Alabama semi-final. 

If you were to rank the four teams that did get in, to me it's

#1 Michigan
#2 Alabama
#3 Cincinnati
#4 Georgia

It insults my intelligence, based on watching Georgia play Alabama, that Georgia is #3. But, again, so does it that they are in the playoff period.

Georgia was no 1 team in country all year.  They lost a Championship game to the best program in the Country.   12-1. 

Ok St lost. tOSU has 2 losses.  ND has no signature wins.  Sagarin has Georgia no 2.  The justification for their being 3 is obvious.
