That's a terrible criterion.

UGA made it solely because they play in a different division. They lost to Auburn worse than Bama did but got a chance to redeem the loss because of geography.

This means nothing because they had already clinched the east before Auburn even played Georgia, let alone Alabama, Georgia was going to Atlanta regardless. Each conference is divided into 2, a north/south or east/west or whatever it's called in the ACC.

In the SEC the winner of the west plays the winner of the east, it's that simple. Winner is conference champion.


Like I stated earlier, it was a winner take all which means exactly that, between Auburn and Alabama. Alabama lost and the winner of the west and who gets the trip to the conference championship is Auburn.


Why should a team that plays one game less than conference champions get in above those champions? Why even have the championship games then?
