We all have to eat it at times and it's good for the soul. It's not always tasty, in fact it doesn't taste good at all. But it does improve our "health".
Auburn was prepared for Georgia. They watched more tape, had a better game plan, had a backup plan, and maintained the momentum. Georgia went into that game a little too high on their laurels and were humbled by a team that wanted it more. Kudos to War Eagle and hopefully the humble pie the Dawgs had to eat made them a healthier team going forward.
Ohio State ate it losing to Iowa. Oklahoma has nibbled at it in various close games. Syracuse fed a slice to Clemson. And there have been others and many more will be served up some humble pie. And BYU? Well, they've been eating it all season. Even game 1, which they won, was humbling because they almost lost to an FCS school. And every time we think they've hit bottom, they find a new bottom. A loss to Hawaii next week would ice the cake for the worst season since the 40's. Yikes!
Couple of other rants:
1. Again, why do voters and commentators want to give Ohio State a shot at the playoff? Do they deserve it after two losses, one of which was to an un-ranked team? They are unpredictable in a so-so conference. Remember the playoff loss a year ago, 33 to 0?
2. Baker Mayfield - hold your fire for Pet's sake. You are really, really, good but that temper and emotion will cost you at some point. Apologizing is the right thing to do but that gets old when you have to apologize multiple times for your flare ups. You may have just cost yourself the Heisman trophy and continued unchecked it could cost your team a shot at the championship.
