the committee will say they beat the best team in the country - the SEC champion UGA - in the regular season so that makes them worthy

So they don’t have to make the Miami versus Notre Dame decision.

Penalize a team (Alabama) for playing in a championship game, while others( Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Oklahoma) get rewarded for sitting in front of the fireplace.

Though in that particular example, Ole Miss and Texas A&M only have one loss, and Oklahoma beat Alabama. But I generally agree with your point.
You could make the same argument for BYU. They have two losses, both to a top four team, one of which came in a conference championship game that they were required to play in. Compare them to Miami, who lost to Louisville and SMU, he didn’t qualify for their conference championship (though I think they would have won if they had).
I’m not sure what the right answer is. I’ll be very interested to see what the committee decides tomorrow.

Alabama was firmly in without playing today. BYU wasn't.
