Finebaum on why Georgia isn't a Playoff lock


The SEC currently has four teams in the top 10 of the Amway Coaches Poll, more than any other conference, and a must-see matchup between No. 2 Georgia and No. 6 LSU on October 13th will have major College Football Playoff implications.

ESPN's Mike Greenberg argued Wednesday on Get Up! that the SEC could potentially send three teams to the College Football Playoff this year, but Paul Finebaum explained why he's worried about Georgia.

"There are no guarantees the second team is going to get in. If Notre Dame runs the table, if Ohio State runs the table, if Oklahoma runs the table - we have serious problems.

And Georgia is not playing very well right now. I know they're undefeated. They have big games coming up, especially next week when they go to Baton Rouge. They have Florida later in the month. They have Auburn. They'll ultimately see Alabama. I'm not certain they're going to make it."

If the Bulldogs drop a key SEC game, Georgia's weak out-of-conference schedule could come back to haunt them later this year.
