Former Alabama Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban is the greatest college football coach of all time, but he never achieved Georgia Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart’s latest accomplishment.
After clinching a berth in the 2024 SEC championship game, Smart has advanced to the SEC championship game four years in a row. Saban never made the SEC championship in four straight seasons. Saban made the SEC title game in three consecutive seasons, but never four.
Smart and Georgia will have to wait and find out who they’re playing in the SEC championship game. First, Georgia plays the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Friday night. Then, Smart and Georgia will see who wins the Texas-Texas A&M game to determine who the Bulldogs’ foe in the SEC championship game.
Smart will be making his seventh SEC championship appearance as Georgia’s coach in 2024. The Bulldogs are 2-4 in SEC championship games under Smart.
Three of Georgia’s four SEC championship losses were to Saban and Alabama. Saban went a ridiculous 9-1 in SEC championship games in his career.
