Watching the Notre Dame Fighting Irish get picked apart by the Clemson Tigers did very little to silence those who believed that the Georgia Bulldogs deserved a spot in the College Football Playoff.
With the Irish down by four touchdowns in the fourth quarter, several Georgia players were unwilling to keep their mouths shut any longer. Defensive end Jonathan Ledbetter and wide receivers Terry Godwin and Mecole Hardman Jr. were among those chiming in with their thoughts via Twitter.

Plenty of Georgia players and fans are likely thinking or saying the same thing Saturday night, but the fact is Notre Dame’s inclusion in the playoff was never in doubt. They went 12-0 and made a real effort to try to play big teams, beating Michigan in the process. It was Oklahoma that got the last spot ahead of a two-loss Georgia team. Even those arguing for the Bulldogs’ inclusion didn’t seem to be claiming it should be at Notre Dame’s expense.
