How UGA dropped to No. 6 last year was a joke. Now they have dropped from 3 to 13. I get why they are at No. 13. Georgia is the third two-loss team in the top 25, behind only Bama and Ole Miss, the two teams to which they lost. And maybe they don't deserve to be that high. The Bulldogs looked inept last week. We keep saying they haven't put together a full game and now I think maybe they can't. But after last year's unprecedented fall, I can't shake the feeling that any loss by UGA is considered worse than that of other teams.
2023: You went undefeated in the regular season and only lost in an unnecessary conference title game.
The Punishment? Out of the playoffs.
2024: Playing the nation's toughest schedule, you lost to two top-10 teams on the road. Beat the No. 3 team on the road.
The Punishment? Out of the playoffs.
It will change of course. Win and they are in.
Still, I'm watching you, playoff committee.
