I don't think UGA's problem is the back end.  As good as their defenses have been the past 2 years, they lack a great pass-rusher.  They don't get many sacks, especially for an elite team/defense.
Now, this works for them 95% of the time, and that's great and all.  They tend to get good pressure, but you can't line up a bunch of beef and expect to get many sacks.
Any defensive backfield will have holes in it without making getting to the QB a priority.  You'd be hard-pressed to find a top defense with as few sacks as UGA has in each of the past 2 seasons.

They lost what probably was their best pass rusher to a torn pec, which is a bit unusual.

watched both games and came away feeling both big ten teams should have won. 

i truly believe OSU is the best team i have seen all year.  a slip here or there and it cost the game.  bad timing on over turn calls that to my eye without a real dog in the fight went against the big ten in both games

still cannot believe video evidence was there on the out of bounds short of the first down in the OSU game.  I went to grab a drink and came back and was totally confused as to how they gave that reversal? 

but that is football and the powers that anoint the refs made it clear how they wanted the outcomes to be

Forget the kid's name but some 5* DE from FLA picked the Dawgs over the Buckeyes about 3 weeks back

Georgia added a key defensive piece to its 2023 class with the commitment of Damon Wilson, a five-star edge rusher from Venice (Fla.) High. Here's what you need to know:. Wilson, ranked No. 13 overall and the No. 2 edge in the 247Sports Composite, picked the Bulldogs over Ohio State and Alabama.D

My GOAL in watching my team is to try and enjoy it and rationalize whenever they lose that CFB really doesn't matter (it doesn't).  It didn't change my life when they won the NC last year significantly, I was happy for a day or so about it.  I do get overly nervous at times.  I can't be totally apathetic and enjoy it, but I can't let a loss ruin my day or week either.  

I watched this year's Mizzou game and was into rationalizing mode in the 4th quarter, and last night I went to bed (I was tired and the game seemed over.)

There is a balance in there somewhere.

I do bark at the TV some ...

If anyone thinks the refs care which team wins has never been a ref.  Your sole goal is to get it right, all the while knowing you won't be perfect.
On the replays, it's the same thing.  On the UGA-OSU reversed 1st down conversion play, no part of Bowers' body touched out of the field of play until after the ball was across the line.  Now, a debate could be had that the ball wasn't brought forward across the first down line until it was above the out-of-bounds area, but I don't think there was any way to know that one way or the other.

Contrary to what many might believe, I wanted UGA to lose.  I want UGA to lose every game they play.

There is zero chance that any of the television powers that be who might attempt to influence the refs,  wanted TCU to win that game. Absolutely zero.
