Alabama, Georgia could be on an SEC collision course – again

Georgia coach Kirby Smart gave mentor Nick Saban and Alabama a run for their money in the national championship game — and did it again in the offseason.

Smart brought in the nation's top recruiting class and stayed on point with Saban-like messages about guarding against complacency and embracing the pressure of high expectations while dismissing potential as "dormant ability."

"We can't allow complacency to slip into our program and slip into our staff because I know that will eat away at the core fundamentals that we started to believe," Smart said during Southeastern Conference media days.
