Georgia coach Kirby Smart credited the Bulldog seniors for the team’s back-to-back trips to the SEC Championship.

“I think it is a credit to these seniors on this team to be able to go to this game (SEC Championship) two years back-to-back,” Smart said. “That’s difficult to do. It is an honor to be in it, playing one of the hottest teams in the country and one of the best teams in the country.”

Georgia faces Alabama in the SEC Championship Saturday (4 p.m., CBS; News 95.5 and AM-750 WSB) at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
