Chairman Warde Manuel and the College Football Playoff committee are under fire from Georgia coach Kirby Smart, who said teams and coaches shouldn't be guessing what evaluation criteria might be applied to formulate the 12-team playoff rankings.
Georgia is No. 10 in the latest CFP Top 25 with a resume that includes two Southeastern Conference losses but also wins over No. 3 Texas, No. 11 Tennessee and No. 17 Clemson.
