Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart believes Texas has earned its place as a top SEC contender.
Yes, many in the media tabbed Texas as a contender for the conference title heading into the season. However, the prevailing narrative amongst the majority of fans and SEC traditionalists was that the Longhorns were not ready for 'the SEC grind' and were in for a rude awakening.
On Thursday, Georgia Kirby Smart made it clear that he believes the Horns deserved to be in this position. No, the Longhorns SEC slate was not the toughest in the conference. That honor belongs to Smart's Bulldogs, who took on Three top-10 teams and a No. 16 Ole Miss just in regular season SEC play alone, as well as a No. 2 Texas team in the title game, and a No. 14 ranked Clemson team that is set to play in the ACC Championship game on Saturday.
