Georgia drops stunner to Auburn: Bulldogs 'started smelling themselves way too much'

Georgia’s undefeated season and No. 1 ranking in the US LBM Coaches Poll ended abruptly on Saturday with a 27-24 home loss to Auburn, marking the Bulldogs’ first defeat of the year.

The team’s dominant defense, which had led the SEC in scoring stops while also powering one of the conference’s top offenses, collapsed after a 14-0 start, surrendering 24 unanswered points before rallying to tie the game. A late Gunner Stockton fumble and a 34-yard field goal by Alex McPherson sealed the upset, leaving Georgia’s playoff hopes intact but shaken.

The loss also followed a similar SEC upset involving No. 6 Texas, sparking widespread debate about the league’s depth and potential playoff expansion.

Social media reactions ranged from disbelief to calls for a larger playoff field, underscoring the shock of the result.
