ATHENS — Kirby Smart wants his team to play in big games. He loves the atmosphere and the test that those games provide.

Of course he will….the Semi-Noles will then whoop up on all the cupcakes in the ACC then get decimated when real/SEC teams play them……"It's all about the Benjamins"
I'm for a ten game SEC schedule, instate rival, and one cupcake. The team with the most wins against ranked opponents is awarded the title of SEC Champion/CFP bye. Cupcake in Georgia's case would be ND, Clemson, Miami, FSU or any willing B1G team or other conference.
For one Huge thing the Playoff Committee should be composed of as neutral as possible people. NOT an AD of Any school !! The Michigan AD did a Very poor job of trying ( and failing) to explain their decisions. Totally flawed system in my humble view.
Load up the cupcakes. If strength doesn't matter, play mercer and UTC every year
Last year, the committees’ mandate wasn’t to choose the four champions, it was to choose the four best teams. UGA was one of the four best teams.
The criteria for the four-team playoff was more complicated than that. It included conference championships, strength of schedule and W-L — all of which worked against Georgia last year when compared to MI, AL and WA.
Texas had the weakest claim of the four. But we lost at a neutral site the team they beat on the road. Plus they convincingly won the championship of the fourth-best conference.
Again, Georgia was the best team IMO. Or come to think of it, maybe second-best: Michigan's sweeps on offense and strong DL were two of qualities that spelled trouble for us last year).
But every time Georgia doesn't get ranked No. 1 or didn't get into the four-team playoff, it doesn't mean it was unfair or that it was some sort of conspiracy. It can actually mean that we were fairly eliminated because we lost.
