Kirby Smart’s record vs. each SEC team as Georgia head coach

Buy Bulldogs Tickets

Georgia head coach Kirby Smart has faced every SEC team at least once since taking over in Athens in 2016.

Through those seven seasons, Smart has guided the Bulldogs to five SEC championship games, winning two. He has been to three College Football Playoff national championships, winning two of those as well.

Smart has played no team more than the Auburn Tigers, who he’s faced a total of eight times (seven regular-season games, one conference championship). He has Auburn’s number, going 7-1 vs. the Tigers. Same goes for every team in the SEC East. But a few schools have the edge on Smart, and Ole Miss is the only SEC team that Smart has not beaten as head coach at Georgia.
