Social media debate: Should Georgia make four-team playoff?
Will Georgia find itself in the top four of the final College Football Playoff rankings, thus earning a spot in the four-team playoff?
Despite its 35-28 loss in the SEC Championship game, Georgia (11-2) is receiving strong backing from some who believe it should still make the four-team field. Others find it hard to place the Bulldogs ahead of 12-1 conference champions Oklahoma and Ohio State.

COLUMN: Georgia went 0-2 against the two best teams on its schedule. The Bulldogs looked great against Alabama, but this isn’t a beauty pageant. Georgia shouldn’t be in the playoff https://t.co/hzf8a8LcVP via @usatoday

So Georgia proves they can blow a 14 point lead to a back up QB. How is this even a conversation 🤔#CFBPlayoffs

What it should be:
— Quade™ (@ItsCadeQuick) December 2, 2018
1. Alabama
2. Clemson
3. Georgia
4. Ohio State
What it will be:
1. Alabama
2. Clemson
3. Notre Dame
4. Oklahoma
I look at the 4 best teams in college football, not their records.#CFBPlayoffs
Oklahoma should get in...1 loss conference champion that avenged its only loss( #9 Texas) in the last statement of the season. OSU lost to unranked Purdue...badly...and at the end of the day...Georgia is a 2 loss team and a non-conference champion. Period. #CFBPlayoffs

Which team would give Bama the toughest test in the semifinal?

Tell us in the @CapitalOne Fan Vote!
Putting Georgia in the #CFBPlayoffs makes the whole process even more of a farce than we already knew it was. Bama, Clemson, ND, Oklahoma. Done.
