No way a SEC team should be playing in the playoffs this year.....

Get used to it ... in a 12-team, you would have had 4 SEC teams in, 5 if you consider Texas an SEC team.
FWIW, same with the B1G - 3 teams from the current B1G, 5 from next year's B1G.
FSU and Liberty would be the other 2, FYI.
Going to assume that once the new conferences are running, a few of those 2 loss SEC and B1G teams will be 3 loss teams. But, really, in most years you will get one each of ACC and B12 guaranteed. Plus the G5. That 9 slots for the SEC and the B1G to split up unless there is a good second ACC team (FSU or Clemson, maybe) and then a good second B12 team (no idea).
SEC - 4/5
B1G - 4/5
B12 - 1
ACC - 1
G5 - 1
Ideally from a competitive perspective, if the ACC/B12 gets some teams playing better:
SEC - 3/4
B1G - 3/4
B12 - 2
ACC - 2
G5 - 1
A lot will depend on what divisionless play in the SEC and the B1G does to teams like Mizzou, Ole Miss, PSU, UW, or UO. Do those teams suddenly pick up a 3rd loss that might drop it out?

I just read about a rumor that'd be the greatest boss move of all time.
It said FSU is considering going to the bowl game, letting the team and players enjoy their week in South Beach, get the gifts and per diem from the bowl game. Warm up but then simply not take the field against Georgia.
The reasoning -- results on the field don't matter, so no point to play a game with no meaning and risk injuries. Let the committee decide who would have won the game.
By doing this it'd cost ESPN millions and millions of dollars in ad revenue and would make up for the millions they cost FSU by leaving them out of the CFP.
I would pay to see this happen!!!! I'd donate to any FSU page to help recover any money lost by doing this.

They probably wouldn’t get their bowl check. The university might not be ok with that.

Why would they do that?
Their leadership voted NOT to expand the playoff for 2023. If they wanna be mad, be mad at their own.
Makes me a little nauseous but if anyone has a real beef it’s Georgia. More deserving to be in the playoff right now than FSU imho.
K gotta puke now..

They don't get a bowl check. Unless the ACC is different than the B1G. The money goes into a pool of all the bowl money from ACC and is split up between all the teams in the conference.
It is possible the ACC is different

No team left out is 'more deserving' than FSU. Subjectively you can argue Georgia, but definitely not more deserving.
Play a tough OOC schedule. Check for FSU, not Georgia.
Win your conference championship game. Check for FSU, not Georgia
Finish the year undefeated. Check for FSU, not Georgia.
So what would make Georgia 'more deserving'?

I agree with you here.
If it truly was "the four best teams", Georgia would be in, SECCG loss or no.

Nothing the CFP can do if they win their conference. You get an autobid.
It'd be amazing because ESPN is a SEC slappy and they will be selling ads for that game for millions and millions of dollars. Guess who will have to refund all that money if FSU decides they'd rather not risk injury in a meaningless game. They could even release a response asking the committee to discuss and let them know who won the game since results on the field don't matter.
ESPN would be completely screwed. That would be the best part of this. The game means absolutely nothing. If FSU beats Georgia, who cares. If Georgia beats FSU. Who cares.
But the chaos that'd ensue if they were to do this would be amazing

Oh i'm sure there will be another way for evil ESPN to screw FSUNothing the CFP can do if they win their conference. You get an autobid.

Based on what? Last year? The year before? The 31-23 win over GT?
Georgia lost to a team who needed a 4th and 31 miracle to a mediocre team to even be in the conversation for the CFP. I bring that game up instead of the drubbing Texas put on them in Tuscaloosa, as that was a while ago.
What exactly did Georgia do to be more deserving?

If they do that -- it'd easily be the most talked about bowl game outside the CFP.
The rest of the games have zero meaning anyways. All the best players sit out and you essentially have teams just getting guys experience.
FSU boycotting the game would at least make it entertaining
