The Georgia Bulldogs have secured their spot in the SEC Championship game, following a wild weekend of upsets in the conference. Kirby Smart, the team’s head coach, expressed his pride and focus on this achievement during a media conference on Monday.
Smart stated, “It’s a great honor to be able to play in the SEC Championship game. It’s probably one of the greatest events in all of sports because of the matchups.” However, he also emphasized that the team’s attention is not on the championship game just yet, as they still have to face their in-state rival, Georgia Tech, on Friday night.
The Bulldogs are heavily favored to win against Georgia Tech, with a 20.5-point advantage according to FanDuel. Nevertheless, Smart and his team are not taking this game lightly, as they aim to maintain their focus and momentum heading into the championship game.
Smart’s comments also highlighted the significance of the SEC Championship game, which is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious events in college football. The game’s participants are yet to be determined, as Texas and Texas A&M will face off this weekend to decide the other spot.
For now, the Bulldogs are taking things one game at a time, with their sole focus on emerging victorious against Georgia Tech on Friday night. As Smart emphasized, “We have so many players that played in this state, it’s a big game and our sole focus.” With their sights set on a win, the Bulldogs are poised to make a strong statement heading into the SEC Championship game.
