Auburn lost to the best team in the nation on Saturday.
I don’t think there’s a lot of debating that. I’m not saying hand the Bulldogs the trophy, but there doesn’t seem to be any team that can truly challenge them between now and the playoff. Yes, as of right now I don’t think Alabama can beat Georgia if they get to Atlanta.
To be honest with you, I’m not sure if Alabama is even going to Atlanta. They still have to play at Mississippi State (who just beat Texas A&M, who in turn beat Alabama), at home against Tennessee (who has a legit offense), at home against Arkansas, and then at Auburn to finish the season. I have concerns as to whether or not the Tide can win out.
All of this to say Auburn got smacked by the best team not only in the SEC, but in the nation this weekend. It wasn’t expected to be pretty, and it turned into a near blowout late.
Here’s Auburn’s report card in their 34-10 loss to No. 1 Georgia.
