Robert Griffin III believes the Georgia Bulldogs remain the SEC’s standard after their 20-17 road victory over the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Georgia’s Week 6 win over Alabama strengthened the team's position in the SEC race and marked Kirby Smart’s first regular-season win vs. the Crimson Tide.

The former Heisman Trophy winner shared his assessment Friday night on X, formerly Twitter, calling Georgia the conference’s bully and the best team in the country. His endorsement came six days after the Bulldogs won in Tuscaloosa and ahead of Saturday’s home matchup against Auburn.

“Yes, they're still the bullies of the SEC. They're the kings of the SEC, and Georgia destroyed Alabama's Death Star.”

The Bulldogs delivered a balanced performance October 10 at Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Ranked No. 2 entering the matchup, Georgia outgained No. 6 Alabama 455-346 to improve to 6-0 overall and 4-0 in SEC play.

Gunner Stockton completed 18 of 22 passes for 249 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. He added a 14-yard touchdown run, while Dwight Phillips Jr. rushed for 120 yards on 17 carries.

Stockton also found tight end Jaden Reddell for a 53-yard gain before connecting with London Humphreys for a 20-yard touchdown. Alabama rallied for a 14-10 halftime lead, marking the first time Georgia had trailed all season. The Bulldogs responded with a touchdown on their opening possession of the third quarter.
