So ND beats Georgia by a point early and goes undefeated and Georgia slaughters an undefeated Alabama at the end and finishes 12-1? (The records matter.)
Yes both go to the playoff, Georgia at #1 and ND at #2 because of past history, but who really cares about that scenario?
It's at the margin where ND will get passed over that it matters most, and actually I think we agree...when you speak properly.
