No 3-peat for UGA as CFP playoff teams announced … Pretty much as we thought, it will be #1 ranked Michigan against Alabama in the Rose Bowl on January 1st and Washington versus Texas in the Sugar Bowl later that day in the CFP semi-finals. The winners will play on January 8th in Houston for the national championship. Left out was unbeaten Florida State, the ACC champion, but the Seminoles just weren’t the same team after losing star QB Jordan Travis last month. And hands up everyone, or anyone for that matter, who thought for even a second at any time during the season that 2-time defending national champion Georgia, which hadn’t lost a game in what seemed like forever, would not at least make the initial 4-team playoff. Of course, the CFP playoff field expands to 12 teams next year and there probably still be some bitching about who gets in and who doesn’t, but there’s big difference between arguing about who gets into the playoffs versus which teams fully deserving of a chance to win the national championship don’t get to play at all.
