Clean, Ole Fashioned Hate: Georgia Tech (7-4) vs #7 Georgia (9-2) (7:30PM ET, ABC)

If UGA wins next week that’s all moot. How does Clemson get in with UGA winning the SECG even if they lose today? They don’t. If UGA lost this one there’s no way they lose next weekend. Sankey won’t risk it being UT and TX only.
Except there’s still the possibility that if UGA goes into the conference championship game at 10-2 at #6 or #7 and loses, the fact that the committee’s only been dropping the conference championship losers only 1-3 spots (on average) each time over the last 10 years would mean there’s a pretty good chance UGA could still make it in even if they lose next week.

GT winning would only allow UGA into the playoffs if they won the conference championship given it’d already be 9-3. Opening up at least the opportunity for the scenario to open up a spot for another ACC team, as opposed to it just being “UGA can get in either way next week”
