It's not that we lost. It's how we lost. More precisely, it's how Sark failed at preparing the team, preparing the gameplan, and executing on gameday. Writing this off as a single loss is completely underselling what happened.
A respectable loss at Georgia would not have hurt our CFP chances. But whatever the fuck that was we had to endure on Saturday? That is more than simply losing one in-conference game.
I can absolutely envision Arkansas getting out to a 21-point lead in Fayette-nam, Sark sulking around on the sidelines, and the team losing something like 40-28. The weaknesses Georgia exposed don't really even need great players to exploit. Hell, you saw Florida and Mississippi State do it. Now imagine a rival at home coached by a guy motivated to shed an interim label and rewrite a legacy shattered by The Undefeated.
Sark is in way over his head.

How dumb do you gotta be to take money from the woman who destroyed the Mavs?
Our recruits are good, otherwise the bluebloods wouldn't also be offering them or trying hard to land them.
The problem is we do nothing to develop them, and they regress under Sark.
Every great player we've had over the past three years has been great in spite of Sark, not because of him.
They're also going to say it's an attack on religious freedom because child brides are a sacred evangelical tradition. I guarantee they will trot out some very weird Brett Kavanaugh staffers who "sincerely hold" the belief that 12 year old girls should be married off to 50 year old men and we have to respect it because Freedom of Religion.
More than the X's and O's (which are nowhere close to "genius" level) he is a piss-poor motivator of men. The players do not respect him. They fear him about as much as they fear a substitute teacher. Maybe it's not a country club atmosphere anymore, but it's definitely not a place where anyone is afraid of fucking up.
Fox can give us offense, I blame Mitch for allowing the team to play with such a short leash. You have a ten point lead halfway through the 4th, you should be able to maintain it. Don't squander three consecutive possessions on a guy who's been ice cold. How about feeding the 8 foot guy who's playing with fire and swagger. Infuriating.
