With only like 20 non conference games played, this year would've been a perfect year to experiment with a 5 P5, 2 at-large, 1 G5 8 team playoff.

Agreed. I've been advocating for that system for some time. Even in a normal season when most teams play only 1-2 non-conference games against other Power 5 teams, there simply aren't enough non-conference games to truly eliminate at least 1 of the Power 5 champions. The 8-team playoff you suggested accounts for so many of the deficiencies in the current system that I believe it is only a matter of time before we get there.
If Cincinnati beats Georgia, there is going to be a big call to go to that system sooner than later.

What a horrible way to finish the game for Cincy. While it's fun to be aggressive, sometimes safe is better- a good run would have left GA very little time to play with. Alas, a long FG won the game for GA.
Really didn’t understand the pass call. A run there is a win/draw scenario. Either you get the first and that’s ball game, or you’re short and leave UGA with 40ish seconds to go the length of the field.
