The Georgia Bulldogs defeated the Oklahoma Sooners in last year's College Football Playoff semifinals, 54-48, and Oklahoma head coach Lincoln Riley apparently came away from that game believing the Bulldogs defense wouldn't fare well against the rest of the Big 12, per SiriusXM's Danny Kanell:
Danny KanellFrom OU head coach Lincoln Riley just now on @ESPNUonSiriusXM talking with me and @TaylorZarzour about how difficult it is to play defense in the Big 12: "If you throw Georgia in the Big 12 every year there is no way they are a Top 5 defense in the country"
Riley later specified he wasn't taking a dig at Georgia:
Lincoln Riley@FootballScoop That’s not a shot at Georgia.
