3 reasons why Georgia’s CFP ranking makes no sense

3. Georgia’s drop vs. Miami’s drop

Georgia fell nine spots in this weeks rankings for No. 3 to No. 12. That fall, as mentioned, is hard to understand on its own, but it becomes impossible to understand when compared to Miami's fall.

The Hurriances lost their first game of the season this past weekend 28-23 to Georgia Tech. This loss only dropped Miami from No. 4 to No. 9. So how did this loss result in less of a drop for Miami than Georgia's loss?

As everyone knows, Georgia lost to Ole Miss on the road this past weekend, and the Rebels are the No. 11 team in these updated CFP rankings. Georgia Tech on the other hand is unranked in the CFP's rankings, so Miami's loss to the Yellow Jackets came against a much worse team in the committee's eyes.

So how did Georgia, who was ranked above Miami in last week's rankings, fall behind Miami when the Hurricanes loss came against a worse team?

The committee was asked about this, and their response does not help their case.

”Well, the obvious is the first loss for Miami and the second loss for Georgia. That obviously played a factor into it.”

Interesting, just last week the committee ranked Georgia above Miami even thought they had one more loss than the Hurricanes. Why do number of losses all of a sudden matter now?

Regardless of these terrible rankings from the committee, Georgia has to get focused and prove them wrong. They have a great test in front of them against No. 7 Tennessee, and if they win that game this weekend there is a good chance UGA will move up these rankings.
