With the second College Football Playoff bracket projection coming out, people wondered where the Georgia Bulldogs would land after their 28-10 loss to No. 11 Ole Miss Rebels. Well, the committee ranked the Georgia Bulldogs No. 12 behind No. 10 Alabama and No. 11 Ole Miss. That means Georgia is out of the playoff picture for the first time since their loss in the SEC championship to Alabama last season.
It’s a significant turn of events for the Bulldogs, who have had impressive wins against the No. 20 Clemson Tigers and the No. 5 Texas Longhorns but lost to No. 10 Alabama and No. 11 Ole Miss .
Inconsistency has been Georgia’s downfall in the rankings and it caught up to them in last week’s matchup. This inconsistency has primarily been on offense. Now, it is time for this team to string their best performances to have a chance within the playoff.
