Could be a blessing in disguise

As dumb as it may sound, I'd rather lose this one and win out and still have a shot at the playoffs than be undefeated going into the SECCG, lose, and be left out because the committee doesn't want 2 SEC teams. A one loss SEC champion will make the playoffs. It's better we are humbled now... We just have to keep chopping.

Agree. It was a rough night all around and we really couldn’t catch a break along with a very poor showing. It happens. It sucks and is disappointing but i really don’t think this team is finished. Still lots of talent and hopefully this game will light a fire to help us finish off the year strong.

My record prediction for the Rant thread was 9-3.

At worst, this team has met my expectations.

Agree... too much rat poison it seems but who wouldn’t have taken controlling our own destiny in the second week of November? Goooo Dawgs!!!!

Eh. Not sure I agree. Based on what's happening across college football today and over the course of the season, I think the most accurate narrative is that Georgia is an average team with major flaws (the same ones we all kne about in the off season) that has benefitted from a historically weak schedule in the worst division of major college football.

Notre dame, our quality win, is being exposed worse than we were. The picture is clarifying. We have played one really good team this year, and that team whipped our arse. If I had to guess, I would bet that we win comfortably over the next two weeks and then get soundly beaten again in Atlanta by either Bama or Auburn.

We just aren't their yet. Our Oline isn't good enough, our secondary isn't good enough, our QB is very young, and our gameday coaching is still not good enough to win at the highest level.

Overall, my preseason prediction was 7-5 or 8-4, so my expectations have been exceeded. Today made me realize that I've been guilty of ignoring reality and buying into the hype. We just aren't there yet. I hope and believe that we are on the path to getting there, but as of this moment, we are nowhere close.

What does this mean? exposed?

they got beat on the road by a good team...just like we did.

Does that mean they arent good now? They have beaten MSU, Stanford, USC, NC State...but bc they lost on the road to a fired up Miami team, they become "exposed"

thats such an ignorant take

There's not much more to say about this game than Auburn played great football today and Georgia didn't.

Things are never as bad as they seem or as good as they seem in CFB. I expect this will be the worst loss of the year when this is all said and done. Team is still fully healthy and in position to win the SEC and make the playoffs.

I do tend to agree that it was a perfect storm for Auburn when we played them. That isn't to take anything away from them, they just came out and played loose in front of what looked like 90k drunk college students. Meanwhile we showed up tight and allowed 5+ yards a carry and routinely lost contain which I have not seen happen much this year.

Clemson loses at Syracuse and gets a pass.

Look there are NO truely elite teams this year (bama struggled with a team we mollywhopped)

Penn State was the media darling three weeks ago now where are they ?

Point is we get to the SEC championship and then we see what happens from there
