“There’s no question, and what’s crazy is the only people you can trust and believe in this business is Vegas,” Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said on 92.9 The Game's "The Steakhouse."

"Because you tell Vegas to do all these teams, there’s no question who would be favored in these games. And I guess that doesn’t matter, because the perception will be every conference will have two or three teams left out that should get in and they’ll include SEC teams in that two or three.

But these SEC teams, whoever it ends up being, it could be anybody, because the schedules are just brutal when you look at what’s left, it’s crazy.”

“It makes me wonder about the whole nine-game conversation, because I’m sitting here going, ‘Wait a second, what if we all had nine games? We’d be talking about three- and four-loss teams,'” said the Georgia head coach.

“Because you just add another game, you’re going to play another good team and you’re going to bring about the possibility of teams losing. There’s so much parity in our league right now. It’s closer than it’s ever been.”
