Georgia athletic director Josh Brooks is not pleased with the “consistency” of the College Football Playoff rankings.<\/p>\n
Brooks aired some of his grievances during an appearance on the Paul Finebaum Show on Friday afternoon in Athens.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to be humble in this process, but I will say this,” Brooks said. “I know the committee made a statement that they had questions about the inconsistency of our team. I would question the inconsistency of their ranking process, quite frankly.<\/p>\n
“But if you want to talk consistency, what has been is the strength of our schedule. And I would challenge them to think about any other team in that top 12 what their [record] would look like had they gone on the road and played the games that we’ve played.”<\/p>\n
In addition to Georgia’s daunting road schedule against programs like Alabama, Texas and Ole Miss, the Bulldogs have also faced Clemson and Florida in neutral-site games this season. UGA has faced the No. 1 strength of schedule so far in 2024, per ESPN’s Football Power Index<\/a>.<\/p>\n As far as Brooks’s “inconsistency” comment, he is presumably referring to a statement made by CFP selection committee chair Warde Manuel on Tuesday night. Asked why the Bulldogs dropped 9 spots to No. 12 \u2014 and out of the projected bracket \u2014 Manuel cited consistency issues on the offensive side<\/a> of the ball.<\/p>\n Here’s video of Brooks’s comments:<\/p>\n Josh Brooks talking UGA’s latest CFP Ranking… https:\/\/t.co\/SNndtlA6bp<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/xJGNprIBQv<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Paul Finebaum (@finebaum) November 15, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
