Transcript

00:00 All right, let's talk about Conference Championship Weekend.

00:03 Georgia is set to take on Alabama in the SEC Championship

00:06 Game.

00:06 If Alabama wins and Georgia's favored,

00:09 do they deserve a CFP spot?

00:12 Yes.

00:12 If your argument is, what are the best teams,

00:16 the four best teams, Alabama will belong on that list,

00:20 given the wins that they already have this year,

00:22 and given that this would be a win over Georgia.

00:26 Now, the tough spot is, who do they replace?

00:29 I personally don't believe Michigan

00:30 belongs in the college football playoff, given the cheating.

00:34 And then there's the other undefeated teams.

00:36 Let's say Washington beats Oregon,

00:38 and it's going to be tough to keep them out.

00:40 If Oregon wins that game, also going

00:42 to be tough to keep them out.

00:43 Do you bump an undefeated Florida state team,

00:46 considering schedule?

00:47 Regardless, I believe that Alabama

00:49 belongs in the mix with a win.

00:51 I just don't think Alabama deserves

00:53 to be in the college football playoff this year.

00:55 They're playing well right now, and a win over Georgia,

00:58 the number one team in the country,

00:59 would be very impressive.

01:00 But I just think there's teams that deserve it more.

01:03 Probably the winner of the Washington-Oregon game

01:05 this upcoming weekend, or even Texas if they win this week.

01:09 I don't know how you don't put Texas in over Alabama

01:12 when they beat Alabama earlier this season.
