The Bulldogs' head coach is focusing solely on the matchup and not what it could mean down the road for both teams.
Both Georgia and Tennessee desperately need to win on Saturday if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Georgia head coach Kirby Smart understands the significance of this matchup, but he is not approaching it like it is a playoff elimination game. Georgia will need help to get to the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta since the Bulldogs have two conference losses. The Vols control their own destiny as far as making the conference championship goes, but that changes if they lose in Athens on Saturday. Smart says that his team is focused on Tennessee, rather than outside factors like the College Football Playoff committee’s opinion of his team.
