As Georgia was trying to shake off last week’s loss to Alabama, Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs took care of business against Auburn Saturday afternoon. At the same time, the Crimson Tide struggled against Vanderbilt – and eventually suffered the upset loss of the season to this point.

In his postgame press conference, Smart reacted to the Alabama-Vanderbilt result. He reiterated his high praise for Clark Lea and the Commodores while also pointing out the fun part about the SEC. Any given Saturday, any team can win.

Of course, Vanderbilt vs. Alabama wasn’t the only upset of the day in the SEC. Texas A&M also flew past Missouri, and Smart pointed out that game while making his point about the league’s difficulty.

“I think Vandy’s got a great program and does a great job,” Smart said. “It’s a lot of other people that don’t respect Vandy. I respect Clark Lea, I respect his team, his quarterback, what they’ve done. They beat Virginia Tech. Somebody told me six of eight games were decided by less than one score or less in our league. Nothing shocks me about our league. Texas A&M–Missouri, welcome to the SEC.

“It’s hard every week. And I’ve got a feeling, it’s not gonna stop. It’s a consistency in performance, and when you ride the wave of emotion, you get caught on the bottom of the wave sometimes. We’re just trying to do this. We’re just trying to keep getting better and keep getting better.”
