Kirby Smart Doesn’t Take Bait When Kirk Herbstreit Asks Him About SEC’s Dominance of Big Ten

Georgia received the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff after going 13–0 and winning the SEC championship this season. The Bulldogs will face No. 4 Ohio State in the Peach Bowl on New Year’s Eve.

Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart joined ESPN’s selection show on Sunday to speak about the team’s ranking and chances for a repeat title.

At one point, ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit asked Smart whether he thinks the SEC has an advantage over other conferences, such as the Big Ten, when it comes to these playoff games.

Smart didn’t play into the storyline, though, and quickly shut down the idea of certain conferences dominating others.
