ATHENS - Georgia’s season may be over, but there’s still one more game left to be played in college football.
The national championship. Michigan and Washington.
For Georgia fans, this one might be tough to watch. That’s because the Dawgs, who were the No. 1 team for most of the 2023 season, never got a chance to face the Wolverines or Huskies.
Not to beat a dead horse, but they had their shot against Alabama, and they fell short with the season one the line. IT’s a tough pill to swallow, especially after watching Alabama play BAD football against Michigan, and still almost win the game.
The Tide played poorly, and Michigan didn’t look all that great, either.
It reiterates the fact that the Georgia Bulldogs were CLEARLY one of the top four teams in college football, and it seems one former Bulldog legend agrees.

Right now, the Dallas Cowboys have +850 odds to win the Super Bowl this season according to FanDuel.
“We should’ve been in the playoffs”, former Bulldog Champ Bailey said. “When they started debating about how they were constructing the playoff, they said they wanted the best teams. Are you goong to say Washington is better than us? Texas? I know Alabama beat us so I’ll give you that. Michigan’s undefeated in the Big 10, I’ll give them that, but we’re definitely one of the top four teams. There’s no doubt about that.”
Champ Bailey is 100% correct.
If there was an expanded playoff this year, do you think Seth McLaughlin and the Tide wanted Georgia one more time? Absolutely not.
Michigan’s eye is still swollen from Georgia’s beatdown two years ago. They did beat an Alabama team that played poorly, but do you think Michigan wants to play Georgia this year on a nutral field? They would never admit it, but the answer is “no”.
Washington’s been a great story. They have an elite quarterback and appear to play their best when it matters most. But they cheered as loud as anyone when the Tide upset the Dawgs in Atlanta.
Texas is beatable. Obviously. Are there a lot of people out there who think Texas is better than Georgia? Probably not.
Georgia got left out of the Playoffs because they lost their first playoff game in Atlanta. That’s a game Georgia probably should’ve won. But they didn’t, and it cost them a spot in the playoffs.
Were they the most “deserving”? No.
Were they one of the four best teams? Of course they were.
That’s clear. I know it. You know it. Champ Bailey knows it. And deep down, the CFP committee knows it too.
