Georgia football podcast: Kirby Smart’s prediction about Alabama, SEC appears to be coming true

Beginning of the show: Georgia coach Kirby Smart once said he thought the rest of the SEC might be closing the gap on Alabama. Recent statistical projections suggest Smart’s prediction might be coming true. I’ll talk more about that on today’s show — including an explanation of why the rise of other  conference programs could not only make things a little tougher for the Crimson Tide, but also UGA.
