The two teams playing already beat the other 2 teams to earn the right to play in the championship. (Also they wouldn't necessarily have one more loss after losing the championship since the other teams not playing in the championship game lost their playoff games.)
GA lost by 20 points to LSU but still had a chance to get in by beating Bama. They didn't and didn't win their conference. It would be outrageous to put them in the playoffs ahead of either of two one-loss conference champs IMO. Doing so would basically ignore the loss to LSU completely. (When Bama got in last year without winning the SEC they only had one loss, not two.)
I don't have anything against GA. No doubt they are a great team and had a great season and I would be on board with them getting in if they hadn't lost twice.

I hear ya’, but I still think if they were 4 going in, they should be 4 coming out. I would agree with you if they lost by two touchdowns or something, but they looked like the better team most of the game, imo...
Anyway, you still had a cool bar. We’ll always have Morocco.
