Alabama managed to get to the SEC Championship Game in Kalen DeBoer\u2019s second year; that has to have <em>some <\/em>value, but they did very little with it, putting on an embarrassing display in a 28-7 loss to the Georgia Bulldogs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><strong>You\u2019ll have to excuse my being relatively terse today:<\/strong> It was an <em>extremely unpleasant<\/em> game, but also a pretty <em>simple <\/em>loss that I don\u2019t think has very much analytical intrigue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">We also now have the context that Alabama did not drop <em>at all <\/em>in the CFP Rankings and will be going to the Playoffs. <strong>So apparently this game did not matter, hence, \u201cwhatever.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Win probability actually did like the Tide in the first part of the first quarter.
