Carson Beck, Smael Mondon react to fate of season in hands of Playoff committee
Carson Beck, Smael Mondon and Georgia are leaving their Playoff fate in the hands of the committee after losing to Alabama in the SEC Championship Saturday night.
The Bulldogs were just short of leaving no doubt that they are a College Football Playoff team, but no they will have to wait on a decision from the committee tomorrow.
For Beck, it’s hard to have played so well the entire season just to come up short in a season-defining game.
“To go through an SEC schedule, 12 games and to win each and everyone, it’s not something easy to do,” Beck said after the game. “It’s not easy, but super proud of these guys. Obviously, to come into this game and not finish the way that we wanted to and kind of leave the destiny of our team in someone else’s hands rather than us handling it ourselves, that’s hard, but at this point it’s out of our control.”
Mondon echoed Beck’s statement, but he’s proud of the way his teammates fought on Saturday.
“It’s tough,” Mondon said. “I’m proud of the way the guys played tonight and a lot of guys had to step up and I’m proud of the guys.”
The CFP selection show will take play on Sunday at noon ET, and Georgia will learn its Playoff fate.
