Likely won’t happen, but I do agree with the article that

Utah should jump Alabama this week in the CFP poll. It’s a joke that the SEC schedules FCS games the last week in November.
Utes CFP Rank

Utah should be at #4 on Tuesday. Why? Well, for one, Alabama played down this week. They should get punished for that. If we reward teams for scheduling up, we should punish teams for scheduling down. You want to get rid of late year FCS garbage? Punish teams that do it. 

Plus, Tua is gone and injuries are supposed to factor in. You can’t lose the best QB in the country and think you are still as good as a team with the 4th or 5th best QB in the country. 

So, Utah jumps Alabama. Now we look at Georgia vs Utah. 

Both have one loss. Georgia’s is worse. AND Utah’s came vs a top 25 team when Utah’s best offensive player (Moss) was hurt. Again, injuries are supposed to play a factor in rankings. 

It was 14-7 in the beginning of the second quarter when Moss went down. Utah then had a FG in the redzone, a fumble at the goalline, a FG at USC’s 7 yard line, and a FG in USC’s redzone. 

They lost by 7 points. If Moss is in, you’d have to think Utah gets a TD on the fumble. That leaves three other trips in the redzone vs USC and Utah scored 9 points. With Moss, doesn’t Utah get more than 9 points in three trips in the endzone? 

So, Utah has equal losses to Georgia, but their loss was due to an injury vs a much, much better team (a ranked team) and on the road. 

Georiga’s loss was at home to a 4 win team with no injuries. 

Utah should be ranked #4.

I completely agree.  Too bad we don’t have the blue-blood name.  Although,  I would argue that Georgia has better wins and a better SOS than Utah does at this point.  I honestly feel like Utah’s defense keeps them in every game this year, no matter who the opponent is.

Georgia has earned #4 for the time being. They have multiple wins over good teams (FL,ND,TAMU,AUB). Honestly they’re my #3 over Clemson at the moment (Clemson hasn’t played nearly the competition). 

But, if they lose this week or next, and Utah doesn’t… we’re in, imo.

Let it play out.

I posted this on the other site, but we have no clue how good or bad Georgia, Utah, etc are. It’s crazy. You mention Florida and Texas A&M and Auburn as good teams. 

Florida has played three good games and the rest are all laughable. Florida is 1-2 in those games. 

Auburn has played 4 good games and the rest are all laughable. And they are 1-3 and their only win was first game of the year game against Oregon who had to come from the other side of the country. 

Texas A&M has played 4 games vs good teams and they lost all 4. Their wins? Texas State, Lamar, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Miss St, UTSA, South Carolina. 

I think it is fair to say that Texas A&M isn’t any good. 

So, who has Georgia beaten that has shown they are really good? 

Who is Georgia’s best win? 

Florida. Look at Florida’s wins: 6 win Miami, UT Martin, Kentucky, Tenn, Towson, Auburn, South Carolina, Vanderbilt, Missouri. UW, Oregon, Stanford, WSU, Utah, USC, ASU could all 8-0 with that schedule. 

So, Georgia is suddenly amazing because they play a much easier schedule than PAC-12 teams do? 

My point is, this “eye” test we do is hogwash. 

Get a 6-8 team playoff, exclude G5 because a team that has less than 4 P5 games doesn’t deserve a spot over a team with 9+ and let the teams figure it out on the field.
