Kirby Smart shoots down SEC debate, ‘most overrated conversation there ever was’

MIRAMAR BEACH, Fla. — Kirby Smart says the scheduling debate dominating the opening of the SEC spring meetings is “the most overrated conversation there ever was.”

“You need to be in the SEC championship, that’s a lot better topic for me, is somebody going to get an advantage by not going to the SEC Championship Game but making the expanded playoff,” Smart said.

“That’s a lot better topic to me than eight or nine games. You’ve got to win your games, and now more than ever it’s going to be that way because there’s not going to be divisions.”
