## Resource

Kirby Smart’s Georgia Bulldogs remain college football’s gold standard, even after playoff heartbreaks—ranking second behind Curt Cignetti’s Indiana miracle, with four voters placing Smart ahead. ESPN’s Max Olson calls Georgia the benchmark for elite consistency, citing nine straight top-seven finishes, eight SEC title games, and over 12 wins per season since 2015. With a 40-5 SEC record since 2021, Smart’s ability to recruit, develop, and dominate despite chaos in the transfer portal and playoff expansion is unmatched. The Bulldogs open their season Sept. 5 against Tennessee State, ready to prove they’re still the nation’s best. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
