Auburn drops to No.14 after loss in Athens

Following a 34-7 loss to Georgia on the road Saturday, Auburn has dropped to 14th in the latest College Football Playoff rankings, a five spot drop from last week when the Tigers were in the top ten at No. 9. After being ranked at 16, the Bulldogs jumped up to No. 10 following the upset in Athens.

Johnson: Tiger defense 'trying to run in quicksand'

"I've got an old buddy who said one day that all Southern men think they know how to win a NASCAR race and coach football," Johnson said. "I've been coaching for 40 years, I've coached at a lot of different places and it's just part of the business. If it bothered me, I wouldn't still be coaching for 40 years. I can understand some of it. We're frustrated, players are frustrated and obviously fans are frustrated."

OPINION: Keys to the Auburn vs. Georgia game

Most of the time, when I write these keys to the game articles, I try to get somewhat technical and take an in-depth look at Auburn and whoever their opponent is that week. I try to be specific and unique and avoid making what I say sound too basic. However, if Auburn hopes to find any success against the Bulldogs, or at all for the rest of the season, they need to get back to basics.
