Georgia gains an edge without even reaching the SEC Championships.

Edge

If Georgia finishes the regular season 11-1 (7-1 in the SEC), with its only blemish being a tight loss to Alabama, it could still be in line for a top playoff seed. And skipping the SEC title game could mean fewer chances for injuries, more time to heal, and a mental reset before the postseason grind. In a format that requires teams to potentially win three or four games against elite opponents, that extra rest could be a difference-maker.

Makes great sense.
