As conference championship showdowns take center stage this weekend, Paul Finebaum<\/strong> touched on whether the Georgia Bulldogs<\/a><\/strong> are locked into the College Football Playoff<\/a><\/strong>, even if they fall to the Texas Longhorns<\/strong><\/a> in the SEC title game.<\/p>\n

A loss would be the third on the season for Kirby Smart\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> team, but Finebaum doesn\u2019t believe it would knock Georgia out of the 12-team dance. While that may be controversial, as many have theorized SMU<\/a><\/strong> might be out with a potential second loss on the season in the ACC Championship Game, Finebaum is sticking by his prediction.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a fair question, but overall, Georgia has good wins,\u201d Finebaum stated, regarding whether the Bulldogs are safely in the College Football Playoff, via Get Up<\/em>. \u201cObviously, Texas. They have other wins that matter. It\u2019s \u2014 they\u2019re very narrow. But I think this is where this thing becomes a complete \u2014 a very difficult thing to understand, because of what I just said a minute ago, I think this committee is walking on a slippery slope if they decide SMU can\u2019t go by losing in a conference (championship) game, even though they don\u2019t have a very good schedule, while Georgia can go. But ultimately, I think Georgia prevails there.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know people around the world think everything is steered and directed toward the SEC. It may seem like that Sunday. I think that\u2019s how it\u2019s going to end up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perhaps a potential loss to Texas wouldn\u2019t be as damaging to Georgia due to their earlier win against Texas on the road. That was one of the more impressive victories of the season in the eyes of the Selection Committee, and a major boost to the Bulldogs\u2019 resume throughout the year.<\/p>\n

Still, if Georgia is able to get in with a third loss, claims of SEC bias will still come to light, whether they\u2019re founded or not. That\u2019s just the name of the game when it comes to the College Football Playoff.<\/p>\n

If Kirby Smart\u2019s team plays lights out against Texas, there won\u2019t be any questions regarding their resume moving forward. However, if Saturday evening doesn\u2019t go well for the Bulldogs, the College Football Playoff Selection Committee might face some major backlash, even if Paul Finebaum doesn\u2019t find it warranted. <\/p>\n
