“The SEC still goes through Georgia, because those Dawgs can bite,” Klatt stated, via The Joel Klatt Show. “They have resilience. This is a great, proud program. They practice with urgency. They build their roster with urgency. They play with urgency. This is what we didn’t see from Alabama against Florida State in Week 1. This is a team that answered the bell in that environment.

“But it’s just a reminder — as good as Tennessee played at home, and as highly as I now think of Texas A&M, and LSU’s got a couple of big wins, and John Mateer and Oklahoma look a lot better. Guess what, folks? You still have to beat Georgia. And that’s incredibly difficult to do. That conference still goes through Georgia.

“It goes through Kirby Smart. And right now it goes through Gunner Stockton. So kudos to the Georgia Bulldogs for that big win, in what can only be described as one of the great environments in all of college football.”
