ATLANTA -- Georgia coach Kirby Smart doesn't have an Alabama problem anymore.
After Smart's teams dropped seven of their previous eight games against the Crimson Tide, the No. 3 Bulldogs flipped the script with a dominant 28-7 victory over No. 9 Alabama in Saturday's SEC championship game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
By securing their second straight SEC title, the Bulldogs finished 12-1 and likely secured a top-four seed and first-round bye in the upcoming College Football Playoff.
It's the first time Georgia has won back-to-back SEC championships since tailback Herschel Walker led the Bulldogs to three straight from 1980 to 1982.
