Yikes. That's pretty gross.
Georgia just pushing Florida around yesterday didn't help my confidence any. I mean they just manhandled those guys. [Reply]

Exciting shit!
If they win it would put them on course for the SEC championship game. I think the playoffs are still only 4 teams this year so they'd have to win THAT as well; the SEC isn't getting two teams in this year, IMO.
But again, it's what we were saying about the LSU a few weeks ago - nothing truly changed based on that game. Everything is still on the table.
Is it even a little realistic? No - but we're in November and still control our own destiny. That's pretty damn exciting. [Reply]

No, that game didn't matter.
They're not getting into the top 4 without beating UGA, even if they beat LSU. And if they beat UGA, they're in the drivers seat for the SEC title game even AFTER losing to LSU.
The only way it would matter is if they beat UGA and then lose to Tennessee or something (definitely a possibility). And yeah, that would suck royal ass.
But I'll worry about all that in the extremely unlikely event that we beat Georgia. [Reply]
The game mattered in the sense that in the likelihood that they lose to Georgia, winning out as a one loss SEC team puts them in a better bowl game with more visibility. I don't have any illusions of them beating Georgia or winning the conference title.
The 2007 and 2013 teams lost out on BCS bowls because of those regular season losses. Had they simply lost the CCG in both years, they wouldn't get the title shot, but they would have played in the Orange and Sugar Bowl respectively. When a program hasn't done that since the first year of Nixon, that's a big accomplishment. [Reply]

They still have a legitimate chance to win 10 games this year. That's pretty impressive. [Reply]

Exactly. I don't think anyone is counting on beating Georgia on the road for any scenerio or even holding that against them if they lose.
But they did get absolutely rat fucked out of making 1 Fruit Bowl... [Reply]
