Kirby Smart and his Bulldogs captains did more than just take in the sights and rides at California's Disneyland.

They talked business.

Smart spoke at length during a question-and-answer session inside the theme park about the matchup against Oklahoma in the New Year's Day Rose Bowl.

The Bulldogs’ coach emphasized that the team was taking a business-like approach to their College Football Playoff semifinal appearance.

Smart says the team is preparing for a "high-tempo game" (video, above) and what that could mean with possibly warmer conditions than expected.
