Nick Saban, Tim Tebow make interesting comments about Georgia's CFP ranking

Georgia football is in an uncomfortable spot when it comes to their College Football Playoff ranking. On Tuesday, the committee moved them all the way down to No. 12, which is one spot short of making the 12-team playoff field.

It's safe to say that almost the entire country has no idea why the committee decided to do this. Sure Georgia has two losses, but they came against very good teams in Ole Miss and Alabam. Georgia also has a pair of wins that might be better than any other team's best wins in the country.

So it really does not make sense how the committee decided to move Georgia to No. 12.

Thankfully it isn't just Georgia fans who are confused by this, and two prominent college football figures spoke out about this recently as well.

Nick Saban Comments

"I don't think the CFP Committee is thinking enough about strength of schedule."

Never did Georgia fans ever think they would see the day that Nick Saban of all people is defending them. But Saban is actually making the same point that Kirby Smart made earlier this week as well.

At some point strength of schedule needs to be factored in. Georgia has the No. 1 strength of schedule in the country, and both of their losses came on the road against team's in the committee's current 12-team field. The Bulldogs also have two ranked wins (Clemson and Texas) while multiple teams in front of them don't have any.

Nobody's saying that strength of schedule is the only thing that matters, but it is clear that the committee isn't factoring it in at all.

Tim Tebow Comments

Tim Tebow also shared very similar feelings as Saban and Smart, and even argued against a point one of his colleagues made.

"There's a whole lot of teams that haven't played anybody and that needs to be taken into account."

It was at this point that that the guest sitting next to Tebow pushed back, saying Georgia is what their record says they are. But Tebow had a quick response to that.

"So Army, Navy, Indiana and BYU are better?"

Again, this just proves that strength of schedule needs to be factored in more. Both Indiana and BYU are inside the 12-team playoff field (and rightfully so), but they should not be ahead of Georgia right now. Neither team has played anyone with a pulse, and Georgia would be undefeated as well if they had their schedules.

So even though both teams are really good, at some point the committee needs to start factoring in strength of schedule.

At the end of the day however, as long as Georgia handles their business in their final three games, it will be impossible for them to be left out of the playoffs. And that all begins on Saturday against Tennessee.
