There was a ton at stake Saturday night in Athens between Georgia and Tennessee. The winner of the game would have a 91 percent chance or better to make the College Football Playoff. In the end, Georgia got a win when they needed it most and beat their one-time SEC East rival, 31-17.
The game further thickened the logjam of potential 10-2 teams in the SEC with the tiebreakers putting our brains in a pretzel. After the game, social media reacted to the Dawgs reaffirming to the country that they are indeed a playoff worthy team.
Here are a few of our favorite tweets.

I think they need to review Georgia’s 12th man on the field

Fall behind 10-0 to the No. 7 team, no more losses to give to keep SEC/Playoff hopes alive … all Georgia does is rip off a 31-7 run.
Kirby Smart, still pretty good at this.
