Kirby Smart's Georgia Bulldogs blew out No. 2 Missouri 48-21 in their first game back at No. 1. The Georgia football team has been on a roll of late, with three-straight double-digit wins over ranked opponents. They beat No. 17 Florida 27-8 and throttled No. 10 Ole Miss 42-7 last week.

When asked how this top-ranked Georgia team compares to the other No. 1s he's led in past years, Smart thinks it's a bit too early to tell.

“I don't know how to compare. Because I think about those No. 1s I had that were so dominant. We were so dominant defensively. Stetson (Bennett) was so efficient. I don't know how to answer that yet because this team hadn't been ranked No. 1 long enough to know,” Smart said.

Smart also noted that when Georgia was last ranked No. 1, the Bulldogs went out and lost at home to Auburn, 27-24.

Smart has had his fair share of dominant Georgia teams over his 11-year stint in Athens. Most notable are the back-to-back College Football Playoff-winning teams led by quarterback Stetson Bennett in 2021-22. The 2022 team went an undefeated 15-0 the entire season and completely demolished TCU 65-7 in the title game.

While their current run of blowout wins has been impressive, this Georgia team still has some way to go before being spoken in the same breath as those national title-winning teams. But if they can continue to keep up this run until the end of the regular season and into the playoffs, then maybe they can play their way into the conversation.
