So since Utah pewped the bed, if the faves win

where are we likely to play if Ohio State is #1, LSU #2, us #3 and Oklahoma/Baylor winner #4? Do we get a Tiger/Tiger matchup in Atlanta? Or would Ohio State possibly get Atlanta draw since Norman/Waco are closer to Phoenix than Atlanta and they don't want to advantage the 4 seed?
I assume LSU would get Atlanta if they moved ahead of Ohio State for #1...so rooting for UGA to lose in a close game and Ohio State to blow out Wisconsin as I think most Tiger fans prefer Atlanta to Glendale?

To clarify, I'm well aware our most realistic way to ATL

is for UGA to beat LSU...but I would much rather our team have to travel to Glendale and SST have to watch on TV than to deal with UGA fans in Atlanta.

Gracias...my thought process is that

although the committee doesn't want to "disadvantage the 1 seed" they have the ultimate say and there is a reasonable chance they put Ohio State/OU Baylor winner out in Glendale to make sure attendance will be better for both games overall.
I think there is a decent argument that Oklahoma/Baylor travelling to Atlanta instead Glendale is a marginal disadvantage and also Ohio State traveling to Glendale instead of Atlanta isn't much of a disadvantage either. Ohio State would have better attendance at either location imo.
I also think barring Ohio State upset or LSU absolutely blowing the doors off UGA, committee will put Ohio State #1...I don't agree with it but them moving up Wisconsin to #8 before this game stunk of them looking for a cheap way to justify Ohio State staying at #1

Quick google search says committee has final say

When assigning teams to sites, the committee will place the top two seeds at the most advantageous sites, weighing criteria such as convenience of travel for its fans, home-crowd advantage or disadvantage and general familiarity with the host city and its stadium. Preference will go to the No. 1 seed.

But in practice, I do believe they have allowed the #1 team

I do agree with you though that if UGA wins

we draw them out in Phoenix, which seems counterintuitive to my previous post but I think the committee wants to avoid gifting UGA two Atlanta games in a row

Also if UGA wins and they are 3 and LSU 4

, and OSU wins and is 1, LSU and OSU are about the same distance from ATL, but LSU is much closer to Phoenix.

And to throw us all for a loop, there’s a chance UGA wins
Dec 7, 2019, 2:07 PM
[ in reply to I do agree with you though that if UGA wins ] |
|
but remains at 4 with LSU 3, because they have a bad coot loss but LSU’s loss is to the #4 team in a de-facto home game for UGA.
