re: Florida is probably the best loss to have

Disagree. Losing a game on the road vs at home. And I’d rather beat #2 at home and lose to #22 on the road. Especially if they are in same division.

A loss to the East champ > A loss to the 2nd or 3rd place East team. UGA is likely winning the division.

2014 Ohio State vs. UR VT
2014 Alabama @ 15 Ole Miss
2014 Oregon vs. 15 Arizona
2015 Alabama vs. 10 Ole Miss
2015 Oklahoma vs UR Texas
2015 Michigan State @ UR Nebraska
2016 Clemson vs. 22 Pitt
2016 Washington vs. 9 USC
2016 Ohio State @ 5 Penn State
2017 Clemson vs. UR Syracuse
2017 Oklahoma vs. UR Iowa State
2017 Georgia @ 10 Auburn
2017 Alabama @ 10 Auburn

These are the losses of all the playoff teams. Losing to either UGA or UF doesn't end the season, but losing to #2 at home is a really good loss, comparatively.
