Georgia will very likely make the College Football Playoff — even if it loses in the SEC title game. But I definitely wouldn’t have repeatedly guaranteed that Georgia punched its ticket tonight.

We still don’t know for sure how the selection committee will handle champ games!

GT not running except once in OT was a problem.

The 2 OLs just played next level throughout.

Officiating was a mess but GT left too many pts on the field early.

Did Buster Faulkner used to work at Georgia? Someone should’ve mentioned.

I don’t wanna hear Eminence Front again…

Georgia storms back from four double-digit deficits to beat Georgia Tech in an eighth overtime and avoid an absolute nightmare for the SEC’s playoff situation.

Several fourth-quarter officiating calls will be, er, scrutinized to say the least.
