with the SEC spin being all over the network, its a little harder to believe it is an act. Even worse when ESPN talking heads seem to predict how the playoff will fall out. If ND is 3 tomorrow and Georgia is not in the playoff I will be convinced ESPN doesn't have the pull with the committee I believe they do based on their politicking for Alabama to be in at 4 last year. If Georgia is in the playoff but at 4, I will still be on the fence but lean toward no pull. However, if Georgia is not only in but somehow find themselves at 3 after listening to Kirk Herbstreit almost be beside himself if it doesn't happen, I will be fully convinced ESPN has significant input into who gets in and where they get slotted. There is zero justification for Georgia at 3 over ND other than to avoid the rematch, and that should have zero bearing on the rankings.
