Heather Dinich explains why Georgia is still not a lock to reach College Football Playoff

Heather Dinich believes the College Football Playoff committee is still weighing its 4 teams to play for the national championship. Georgia, despite its dominance and winning streak, is not a lock, she said on ESPN’s “SportsCenter” on Sunday morning.
“Not a lock. Absolutely not,” she said. “Because as I said, conference championships matter. If you don’t win your conference, you face a much higher bar in that selection committee meeting room to prove you are unequivocally one of the four best teams in the country. If Texas does win the Big 12, Texas would have something Georgia does not. A win against the SEC champ. That would be huge.”
Georgia on Saturday set the SEC record for a winning streak that now sits at 29 games thanks to a dominant win over Georgia Tech, the latest in a one-sided rivalry the last 2 decades.
Kendall Milton powered Georgia to a 31-23 win over Tech Saturday night Milton with a career-high 156 yards and 2 touchdowns to help Georgia cap its 3rd consecutive undefeated regular season with its 6th straight victory in the state rivalry.
