Alabama football is the robust gold standard of college football. The Southeastern Conference is preparing itself for another dominating run by Alabama and Georgia. Hold up, wait! Is Georgia genuinely closing the gap on the Crimson Tide?
Otherworldly Expectations for the Bulldogs
Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart enters his third year in Athens. The former Alabama football defensive coordinator recorded an 8-5 record during his first season. Smart led the Bulldogs to the SEC championship and a College Football Playoff championship game appearance in his second season.
Smart received a new contract in May for seven years and $49 million tying him with Auburn’s Gus Malzahn for the fifth-highest paid coach in the FBS.
