Win or lose, it is my belief they deserve to be in. I don't know how you could consistently rank them as you clear #1 then turn around and say they are not even one of the best 4 after one loss to a team you had at 4.
That said, Bama fatigue is real. Many fans of other teams, in fact almost all, view us as public enemy #1. Since their own team probably can't do it, they would love nothing more than to see someone else take us out. I dare say, seeing us fail would make many of them happier than seeing their own team succeed. And if there is anyone on the committee with this type of feeling, we do not need to leave them anything to consider. Beat UGA, then go do your business in the playoffs. Do not give them any room to consider another option.
