Georgia football coach Kirby Smart says the difficulty of a team's road schedule and how it handles it determines success in the SEC.

Georgia ranks fifth in the country and first in the SEC in total snaps returning. The Bulldogs also rank first among teams that made last season's College Football Playoff.

Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said that with the Big Ten winning the past three national championships in football, it's hard to argue the SEC is the better conference now.
