Georgia's Loss to Ole Miss Has Plunged the SEC Into Chaos

It finally happened. For the first time since 2020, a team other than Alabama found a way to beat Georgia in the regular season.

Everyone acknowledged the Bulldogs had a tough schedule coming into 2024, but this team just hasn't looked right most of the year. Carson Beck has been a massive disappointment. The skill position players are mostly invisible. The defense has alternated between good and fine. Honestly, we may look back at the Dawgs going to Austin and manhandling Texas as one of the most shocking results of the season when all is said and done.

And now on the flip side, we have Ole Miss firmly back in the College Football Playoff discussion after being left for dead following losses to Kentucky and LSU. This is the signature win Lane Kiffin hadn't been able to get in Oxford until now.

Aside from what this game meant for the two teams that played, the result has also made the SEC a mess. Depending on what happens in Alabama-LSU later tonight and UGA-Tennessee next Saturday, we could have five SEC teams all with two conference losses by next week — and those five would be behind Texas and Texas A&M, one of whom will obviously pick up another loss when they play each other. Picking which of those teams do and don't get to go to the Playoff could be madness and would certainly lead to whatever fanbases are excluded organizing a march of some kind.

Buckle up, because things are about to get nuts.
