Folks, besides Ga Tech, who is your team you’d like to see in the playoffs?
When I took the SAT way back in 1979, I had to list my preferred schools in order: 1) GA Tech, 2) Auburn & 3) Colorado (Why Colorado? I do not remember). When I think of Auburn, I think of Bo Jackson. When I think of Bo Jackson, I think of the iconic Keith Jackson - Whoa Nellie! Too much nostalgia there, plus my wife went to Auburn. So I would say... War Eagle! for my back up CFP team. But it ain't happening this year.

Having a second team is a sign of weakness

I'm originally from Michigan before moving to Georgia in grade school. Michigan has been my second team after GT, and I probably would have gone there if I still lived in MI during my college years.
My wife is from Michigan. A family joke that my children heard growing up was our imitating Scarlet O’Hara, “Yankees in Georgia; however did they get heah!”

A bit of noise on X today about the CFP and the odds of a playoff without an SEC team. To consider that, here are my thoughts:

uga is in if they go undefeated. I do not see Missouri or Kentucky remaining undefeated.

If uga loses the SECCG to a one loss team, the SEC will not have a team if all these are true:
ACC champ is undefeated
OU/Texas winner is undefeated B12 champ
B1G champ champ is undefeated
PAC-12 champ is undefeated

The SEC might still be left out if uga loses a regular season game, but wins the SECCG if:
ACC champ is undefeated
OU/Texas winner is undefeated B12 champ
B1G champ champ is undefeated
PAC-12 champ is undefeated

It will be hard to justify a one loss SEC team in the CFP with four undefeated P5 champions. The real sticky question will be who gets left out is all five P5 champs are undefeated.
