“It’s not about the Big Ten and the SEC," Kirby Smart said. "It’s about football, right? It boils down to the line of scrimmage. It boils down to turnovers, explosive plays. It’s not really about the 2 conferences in those games. You may need to make it about that, but really it’s about who plays better. Because I also coached at Alabama when Ohio State absolutely destroyed us one CFP semifinal game and, you know what? They played better. They were more explosive and they didn’t have turnovers and we did at Alabama. So it really boils down to how you play, not who you play.”
