It is some crazy selection criteria, it’s not enough to get 3rd in the group. 

 

The below is taken from Wiki. 
 

Based on the Nations League rankings, the twelve selected teams will be chosen as follows, starting with League C and working up to League A:[1]

  1. All available group winners will be selected.
  2. If a group winner has directly qualified through the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying group stage, then they will be replaced by the next best-ranked team from the same league that has not also directly qualified.
  3. If fewer than four teams from a given league have failed to qualify, then the remaining slots for that league will be allocated as follows:
    1. The better-ranked League D group winner will be selected unless this team has directly qualified.
    2. Remaining slots will be allocated based on the Nations League overall ranking:
      • If the league has a group winner selected for the play-offs, then the next-best team in the overall ranking from a lower league will be selected.
      • If the league has no group winner available, then the best team in the overall ranking will be selected.

Path formation

The twelve selected teams will then be allocated to paths of four teams. The draw to allocate teams to the different paths will be subject to the following general conditions:[1]

  • If four or more teams from a league enter the play-offs, a path with four teams from the league in question has to be formed.
  • League B and C group winners cannot form a path with a team from a higher league.
  • Additional conditions may be applied, including seeding principles, subject to approval of the UEFA Executive Committee.

With these conditions, the draw procedure is as follows, starting with League C and working up to League A:[5][6]

  • If there are four teams available in a given league, form a path with these four teams.
  • If there are more than four teams available in a given league, draw which four teams will participate in the path of the league.
    • Remaining teams will be drawn into a path of a higher league.
  • If there are fewer than four teams available in a given league, draw available and eligible teams from other leagues so that four teams compose the path of the given league.

Match pairings and rules

Each play-off path will feature two single-leg semi-finals, and one single-leg final, taking place in March 2024. In the semi-finals of each path, based on the Nations League rankings, the best-ranked team will host the fourth-ranked team, and the second-ranked team will host the third-ranked team. The host of the final will be decided by a draw between the two semi-final pairings.

The play-offs are played in single-leg knockout matches. If scores are level at the end of normal time, 30 minutes of extra time is played, followed by a penalty shoot-out if the scores remain tied.[1]

Georgia will get play off because they won their Nation League group. Norway finished second in our group, against superior opposition obviously, but it is what it is. 

 

This Nations League is just crap, it creates a system where you dont get he best teams in the play offs.
