I agree 100 percent with the perfect shite storm part. Based on 10 years of CFP Committee precedent, we didn't deserve to make the Final Four and I knew we wouldn't make it. Had our chance and blew it.
I guess it depends on the criteria. If it's best 4 teams, I think Georgia had a case that they were a better team than Texas, them beating Alabama in game 2 notwithstanding. If a P5 conference championship is the deciding factor when teams have an equal record, then I can't argue.

I still contend that Florida State is the one that got screwed, based on CFP Committee precedent.
They got that right, IMO. FSU's offensive output plunged against Florida and Louisville after Travis was hurt. They clearly weren't the same team. The committee shouldn't assume that one of their inexperienced backups would make a giant leap forward for the playoffs.
I can only remember one similar situation, Ohio St. in 2014, but their offense looked really good with Cardale Jones in a 59-0 blowout of Wisconsin in the Big 10 championship game. Urban Meyer understood they had something to prove in that one game, and he did just that.

On field results have to matter. Otherwise, there's no point in playing the games. Texas earned it and Georgia didn't.

I consider myself pretty well versed on the selection committee operated, at least compared to the average joe, and what's maddening to me is that they did a total about face this year. Maybe it's because it was the final year and they just said "eh frick it, we're tripling in size next year anyway so who cares". Maybe it's because of extenuating circumstances. Who knows. What I DO know is that they operated *literally* in the exact same manner for 9 consecutive years, then did the exact opposite in year 10.
For the first 9 years the committee ALWAYS voted on best resume/most desreving. Period. "Best team" argument is bullshite, "best team" is subjective and relies on the eye test, while best resume is far more objective. And honeslty they got it right all 9 years as well. Fast forward to year 10. There is no way to justify a 13-0 undefeated P5 champ not having a top 4 resume. So if they want to leave FSU out beacuse of travis being injured, now they are shifting from best resume to best team, since FSU was no longer a great team without their QB. Ok...so if we've now shifted the goal posts to best team, how is UGA not obviously and clearly one of the 4 best?
Note I'm not even really complaining about us being left out, since we'd be left out every other of the 9 years in the same scenairo. So t's not a "woe is us we got screwed" argument. FSU got royally and absolutely fricked.
