We lost to our rival. We will lose again to them. However, the season goals for every team will be to
- win one game at a time during the regular season
- beat your rival
- play for a conference championship
BUT ultimately make it to the CFP where your season starts over and goes back to win one game at a time.
So many other national champions have had one loss, sometimes to a rival. Bragging rights aside, it won't matter. Have a good enough season to get into the CFP and your rivalry game doesn't matter.
I hate to lose to that school but it feels good to know we continue to play for something bigger.
