Yes, it sucks that we've badly damaged our chances at the NC after only the first game of the season, but the fact is we need to play teams like LSU and Auburn if we're ever going to see what it takes to beat an SEC powerhouse. We know how to win in the PAC12, but it's the SEC that we will most likely be facing in the NC from here on out. We need to get some more reps against the best if we're going to win the big one.
