Alabama's offensive line showed that it could be broken, Alabama's defense leaked like a sieve against an offense that has struggled all year, and you think they'll manage to beat one of the best Georgia teams in a decade who have allowed only two people into their end zone all season so far and have proven to have a solid 'next man up' rotation in the event of injuries? Who have won big games with backups starting?

I think your somewhat missing something here, Alabama in this game just wasn't up to par and a big reason for that is simply the team not having a decent peer up until this point this season beyond Florida.

That and I think based on what little I watched that Alabama was having problems in the first half mounting any sort of defense against A&M and their refusal to run the ball at times that they should have hurt them a lot,.

As for Georgia? I wouldn't place any bets either way. You can bet that after last nights lost Saban is going to hammer the team to mix things up and Georgia itself could lose a game.

Georgia's still got to fight Clemson, which despite major setbacks this season is still a okay team on paper which has the possibility of a win. Auburn, which while not a formidable as the other two still has a chance abet a weak one of beating them by chance. And finally Florida which came as close as A&M did at beating Alabama.

Georgia opened the season by beating Clemson.

Assuming the ACC doesn't get shut out of the playoff, they should have a rematch at some point though.

    Associated Press Top 25 Poll in College Football:

    #1 Georgia: Can the Bulldogs win their 3rd national championship in school history ?

    #2 Iowa: are the Hawkeyes for real or overhyped ?

    #3 Cincinnati: The Bearcats have to blow everyone out on their remaining schedule including dominating whoever they'll face in the AAC Championship Game.

    #4 OU: I do NOT see them winning a game in the College Football Playoff if they get that far; they have to get past Okla St & Baylor on their schedule.

    #5 Alabama: Despite last night's loss in College Station, I'm confident Saban & Co., will get aggressive & get the team fully prepared. Looking at their remaining schedule, Alabama is likely to win out including winning the SEC West again, finishing (11-1) & possibly winning the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta.

    #6 OH St: Don't trust them. Period!

    #7 Penn St: Losing to Iowa hurt them; the Nittany Lions have to win out & pray for chaos.

    #8 Michigan: Are the Wolverines really back ? 😕

    #9 Oregon: Meh!

    #10 Michigan St: I've got the Spartans going either (10-2) or (11-1).

    #11 Kentucky: Next week in Athens is when we're all going to find out if the Wildcats have arrived. Big question is whether they can keep the game CLOSE ?

    #12 Okla St: Their upcoming game against the Longhorns next week will be intriguing.

    #13 Ole Miss: Sensing they'll lose 2 more games.

    #14 Notre Dame: Overrated. Enough said!

    #15 Coastal Carolina: They're not going to be invited to a New Years Six Bowl. Sorry...

    #16 Wake Forest: NOT buying these folks.

    #17 Arkansas: Back-to-back losses expose that the Razorbacks are NOT back.

    #18 Arizona St: We'll see if the Sun Devils can go either (10-2) or (11-1). Interesting to see if they win the Pac-12 South & play in the Pac-12 Championship Game (Arizona St last played in the Pac-12 Championship Game was in 2013 when they lost to Stanford handily).

    #19 Brigham Young: Losing to Boise St yesterday exposed who Brigham Young is: paper tiger.

    #20 Florida: Can the Gators upset the Bulldogs & cause total epic chaos ?

    #21 Texas A&M: Will they go (9-3) or (10-2) ?

    #22 NC St: Trying to get a read on the Wolfpack.

    #23 SMU: We'll find out soon enough if the Mustangs ruin Cincinnati's dream of an undefeated season in the AAC Championship Game 🤔

    #24 San Diego St: What are the odds the Aztecs go undefeated ?

    #25 Texas: Longhorns will be lucky to go (8-4) or (7-5).
