Just got better and better through the season. Like Georgia, they don't have any really great win. Maybe Wisconsin? Still, they pass the eye test and just absolutely dominated the last three teams they beat 128-17.
5. Georgia (12-1)
Sorry, I don't put UGA in the playoff. They were dominated in the SEC Championship game after initially going up 10-0. They don't have any win any more impressive than Notre Dame. Maybe you might put Kentucky or Arkansas on par with ND beating Wisconsin, but, they had their championship shot and got smashed. We shouldn't be living in a world where you get a reward after failing so badly in your championship game.
Do you realize that Notre Dame doesn't have a single win over a team currently ranked in the AP poll? Georgia has three.
Georgia lost its conference championship game (to the best head coach in the sport's history), Notre Dame didn't play in a conference championship game, nor schedule anyone close to Alabama's caliber during the regular season.
Georgia's single loss was to Alabama, Notre Dame's single loss was to Cincinnati.
I do appreciate the argument that Georgia just had its chance, that's compelling to me. But in no universe did Notre Dame accomplish more this season than Georgia, nor is Notre Dame objectively a better team than Georgia (it's not that close.)
