It wasn't supposed to end this way for the Georgia Bulldogs, a defense-driven team that believe they could hold their own against second-ranked LSU.
Instead, the high-powered Tigers had their way in Atlanta, running away from elite competition for a statement win in the SEC Championship Game.
Kirby Smart's team knew they needed to beat LSU to reach the College Football Playoff, but it was evident early it was going to be a tough task against arguably the nation's most dominant team.
"I give LSU a ton of credit. That is a really good football team, and we knew that coming in," Smart said. "We were going to have to play well. We were going to have to make explosive plays. We were unable to do that. I am very proud of the way our players compete, and I am very proud of the leaders on this team who have continued to compete.
"That's not what we thought was going to happen, and certainly disappointed, but it doesn't take away the fact we've been here three straight years, and I'm really proud of this senior class, who led us to a lot of victories."
Jeers for Smart were abundant nationally in the aftermath, another failed opportunity in a big spot:
