Georgia football is losing a pass rusher to the transfer portal. Sophomore outside linebacker Darris Smith plans to enter the portal, which will open on Monday, Dec. 4, per On3 Sports.&nbsp;The news comes as the Bulldogs prepare to take on No. 8 Alabama in the SEC Championship, the most important game yet this season. A College Football Playoff spot is on the line Saturday.&nbsp;Smith made headlines earlier this season when head coach Kirby Smart announced that Smith was not with the team due to personal reasons.&nbsp;The former four-star prospect was rated as the No. 14 edge defender and the No. 15 player in Georgia in the class of 2022, per 247Sports.&nbsp;Smith's departure will leave Georgia with outside linebackers Jalon Walker, Marvin Jones Jr., Chaz Chambliss and Damon Wilson.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

College basketball AP Poll: Where is Tennessee basketball?

The matchup for the SEC crown is set. Undefeated, No. 1 <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://theplayerslounge.io/georgia/content/articles/predicting-cfp-rankings-ahead-of-championship-weekend-will-georgia-football-be-dethroned?hightlighted=true">Georgia</a> football will take on No. 8 <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://theplayerslounge.io/georgia/content/articles/georgia-football-kirby-smart-previews-sec-championship-game-vs-alabama?hightlighted=true">Alabama</a> (11-1, 8-0 SEC) in Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium for a conference title and a College Football Playoff spot.&nbsp;Both teams squeaked by rivalry weekend with narrow wins. The Crimson Tide beat Auburn 27-24 in Jordan-Hare Stadium thanks to a improbable game-winning touchdown pass by quarterback Jalen Milroe on 4th-and-goal from the 31-yard line.&nbsp;The Bulldogs escaped Bobby Dodd Stadium with a 31-23 win over Georgia Tech in Atlanta. The atmosphere of this year's Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate felt different, according to Georgia Bulldogs Javon Bullard and Jackson Meeks, who joined <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://theplayerslounge.io/">The Players' Lounge</a> this week on <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://theplayerslounge.io/content/videos">'Behind the Helmet'</a>.&nbsp;Before last Saturday, Georgia hadn't faced Georgia Tech in a night game in Atlanta since 2009. The matchup usually draws noon kickoffs.&nbsp;<blockquote>“It almost gave me playoff vibes…," Meeks said. "It was an electric atmosphere. I remember the (last) time we played there it was nothing compared to what it was this time.”</blockquote>The Yellow Jackets entered the game 6-5 on the season, but didn't play like a team barely bowl-eligible. First-year head coach Brent Key had his players ready for the back-to-back national champions, and the Bulldogs had to find their footing without several starters.&nbsp;Starting right guard Tate Rateldge, starting wide receiver Ladd McConkey and starting tight end Brock Bowers all missed the game due to injury among others.&nbsp;Early miscues by Georgia allowed Georgia Tech to take advantage early and the Yellow Jackets took a 10-7 first-quarter lead. That's when Bulldogs stepped on the gas pedal and eventually put the game out of reach.&nbsp;<blockquote>“We battled adversity," Meeks said. "Through everything, all the people we had out this week, we still went in there and showed that we are great as a team. We play for each other, we don’t play selfishly.”</blockquote><h2 class="p1">SEC battle with CFP implications: Georgia football vs Alabama</h2>A book could be written on how many similarities there are between the Bulldogs and Crimson Tide — two of the most dominant programs in college football.&nbsp;<blockquote>“I want to say (they are) like our brother," Meeks said. "We have somebody (Alabama) that we have a lot of similarities to this week.”"It’s two head honchos going against each other," Bullard responded.&nbsp;</blockquote>Georgia is 0-3 against Alabama in Atlanta, including a 41-24 loss in the 2021 SEC Championship, the Bulldogs' last loss. Kirby Smart avenged that loss to his former mentor Nick Saban with a 33-18 win in the 2021 national title game.&nbsp;Meeks and Bullard shared what the Georgia staff's message has been this week in preparation for the game. Smart and Co-defensive coordinator Will Muschamp have instilled just how rare it is to win an SEC Championship, even though Georgia is the reigning SEC Champion.&nbsp;<blockquote>“Coach Muschamp made a point to us today in the defensive room," Bullard said. "He said he’s been coaching (30 years) and only has been to the SEC Championship six (times)… You can’t take it lightly.”</blockquote>Smart has echoed the same sentiment to the Bulldogs as Muschamp. Dating back to Smart's time at Alabama, SEC Championships are just as rare as national titles.&nbsp;<blockquote>“As many national championships as he’s [Smart] got, he has the same amount of SEC Championships.”</blockquote>It seems like every time these two powerhouses meet there is much more at stake than the game at hand, and Saturday's matchup is no different. Whichever team is standing at the end of 60 minutes will secure a CFP spot. It's unlikely that the Bulldogs will make the top-4 with a loss.&nbsp;Alabama's only stain this season is a 34-24 loss at No. 7 Texas in Week 2. Since that game, the Crimson Tide have played some of the best football in the country.&nbsp;<blockquote>“They have a lot of electric players on their team…," Meeks said. "I’m not going to lie, they definitely look good on film, but at the same time, they’ve got to come play us. And we also have a great team, and we’re going to battle it out and see who the best team is.”</blockquote>Georgia is currently a 6-point favorite over Alabama, per ESPN Bet. Kickoff is set for Saturday at 4 p.m. ET, televised on CBS.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Georgia football's Javon Bullard, Jackson Meeks preview matchup vs Alabama: 'They definitely look good on film'

<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://theplayerslounge.io/georgia">Georgia</a> football (12-0, 8-0 SEC) and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://theplayerslounge.io/georgia/content/articles/georgia-football-opens-as-favorite-over-alabama-in-seccg">Alabama </a>(11-1, 8-0 SEC) face off this week for an SEC Championship and a spot in the College Football Playoff.During Kirby Smart's tenure at Georgia, the two have played at the highest of stakes and had historic matchups, like Georgia's heartbreak in the national championship in the 2017 season, or the sweet revenge to claim the first of back-to-back national titles in Jan. 2022.This will be the first time the two have met since that championship game when Georgia famously 'conquered the Crimson Tide'. Georgia is riding a 29-game win streak, its last loss at the hands of Alabama in the 2021 SEC Championship Game.Ahead of the matchup, Smart previewed the Crimson Tide and the game in a press conference. Here's what he said:<h2>On Jalen Milroe's ability to run</h2><blockquote>"He is a tremendous, tremendous football player," Smart said. &nbsp;"I mean, I didn't really know until I got further into the game to watching them last night how good he really is at what he does. I think anytime you can scramble and extend plays a la Stetson, really anybody, it makes it harder to defend when you have the component of designed runs mixed in with that, it complicates it even more because he becomes an extra player, an extra guy to tackle, a physical guy to tackle."</blockquote><h2>On Kevin Steele's impressive defense</h2><blockquote>"Yeah, I mean size, speed, toughness, aggressiveness, multiple coverages, players that can play multiple positions. Depth across the defensive line is one of the things that pops out at you."</blockquote><h2>On holding players accountable during the win streak</h2><blockquote>"We use the analogy early in the year that the Navy SEALs that we studied and visited with in the offseason, one of the number one things they said was if you're too sensitive for criticism, you can't be in our group."</blockquote><h2>On Alabama's receivers</h2><blockquote>"They’re athletic, they’re fast, they’ve got speed all over the place," Smart said. "They’ve got some guys that really do well with the vertical balls. Obviously Milroe throws the deep ball really well. They’ve got intermediate routes, they’ve got teams that play off of them and they hit timing routes. They’re able to throw quick game and RPOs. They do a really good job of that."</blockquote><h2>Confidence after defeating Alabama in the last meeting</h2><blockquote>"The two teams are very different. If you look at who they were then and who were were then, I don't know that there could be more polar opposites in terms of what they do offensively and even us and who we were defensively then. In College Football today, not many of the players that played in that game are playing in this game. If they did, they were probably a minor role."</blockquote><h2>High praise for Milroe, comparison to Tim Tebow</h2><blockquote>"No offense to Tim Tebow but this guy is different. Tim, it was a different running style. Very different running style in terms of what they did and how they did it. This guy, it's like, I used to ask my sons who they were playing on Maden and they'd say, 'I'm playing with the Ravens.' I would ask, 'Why are you playing with the Ravens?' and they would say 'Well they've got Lamar Jackson and nobody can tackle him.' This guy is a bigger, more physical version of that."</blockquote>It will be a heavyweight title match when Georgia and Alabama meet once again in this year's SEC Championship Game on Saturday, Dec. 2. With a playoff spot on the line, the game means everything for each team.Kickoff is at 4 p.m. ET in Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium, televised on CBS.

Georgia football's Kirby Smart previews SEC Championship game vs Alabama

Undefeated <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://theplayerslounge.io/georgia">Georgia</a> football has maintained the No. 1 spot in the College Football Playoff Rankings over the last two weeks, but that could change when the new rankings are released on Tuesday night.&nbsp;The results of rivalry weekend will force the selection committee's hand to shakeup the top-4 with No. 2 Ohio State falling to No. 3 Michigan 30-24.After jumping Florida State last week for the No. 4 spot, Washington once again struggled against a lesser opponent in Washington State (5-7). The Huskies walked away with a 24-21 win thanks to a last second field goal.The fifth-ranked Seminoles, who played their first game without star quarterback Jordan Travis, weren't impressive either. Florida (5-7) led most of the game before a fourth-quarter surge put away the Gators 24-15 in The Swamp.&nbsp;By the same metric, the Bulldogs didn't exactly solidify their case as the clear cut No. 1 team. Georgia Tech (6-6) played well beyond its talent and gave Georgia a run for its money. The Bulldogs walked away from Bobby Dodd Stadium with a 31-23 victory, but the 23 points allowed by Georgia is the most its given up all season.&nbsp;<h2>Predicting the fifth CFP rankings:&nbsp;</h2><ul><li>1. Georgia&nbsp;</li><li>2. Michigan&nbsp;</li><li>3. Washington&nbsp;</li><li>4. Oregon&nbsp;</li></ul>First two out:<ul><li>5. Florida State&nbsp;</li><li>6. Ohio State&nbsp;</li></ul>Considering the precedent set by the committee, Michigan jumping Georgia after a win over the No. 2-ranked team wouldn't be surprising, but the Bulldogs' resume as the undefeated, back-to-back national champions is hard to ignore.&nbsp;It was the Bulldogs' wins over CFP ranked teams Missouri, and Ole Miss that vaulted the Bulldogs over Ohio State in the third edition of rankings. Another ranked win over <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://theplayerslounge.io/tennessee">Tennessee</a> kept Georgia in the top spot the next week.&nbsp;Michigan currently has two ranked wins on its resume in Ohio State and No. 11 Penn State.&nbsp;It's important to consider Georgia's injury situation here. The Bulldogs sat three starters in the win over the Yellow Jackets: Tate Ratledge, Ladd McConkey and Brock Bowers. Each are expected to be back for the SEC Championship versus Alabama.The No. 3 and No. 4 spots are up for grabs. The Buckeyes' close loss won't cause them to drop far, but Washington and Florida State are still undefeated with conference championship games up next.&nbsp;One-loss Oregon, currently ranked No. 6, took care of business handedly versus No. 16 Oregon State, winning 36-7. The three-point loss at Washington in Week 6 is the only stain on the Ducks' resume. You can make a case that Oregon has looked better than the Huskies since that game, and that's exactly what I'm going with here.&nbsp;No. 7 Texas needs some help to make a case for a top-4 spot. Will a win over three-loss Oklahoma State in the Big-12 Championship do enough to make up for the loss to No. 13 Oklahoma?&nbsp;Tuesday night's rankings serve only as a precursor to the most important games of the year this weekend. Georgia will face No. 8 Alabama, Michigan will take on No. 17 Iowa in the Big Ten Championship, Washington will battle Oregon in the Pac-12 Championship and Florida State will play No. 10 Louisville in the ACC Championship.&nbsp;You can catch tonights rankings on ESPN at 7 p.m. ET. The final CFP rankings will be announced on Selection Sunday, Dec. 3 at noon ET on ESPN.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

A lot of them were here when I first got here and chose to stay here through some uncertainty. They bought into our vision of what the program can and would be about. It’s a phenomenal group.It’s a group that, over the last couple of years, won 13 games at home. Thirteen home games, which, over that span, is as good as it’s been since the late nineties. We’ve had some disappointment in the results along the way, but this group, this team, continues to fight and compete extremely hard and prepare the right way. I’m really proud of them. That happens because of the leadership from that senior group."</blockquote>12 of the 35 student-athletes honored have remaining eligibility due to an extra year from Covid-19.
