AUSTIN, Texas — Kirby Smart had his chest out Saturday night after Georgia beat Texas, playing the nobody-believed-in-us card, saying, “They tried to rob us” and shooing off anyone saying Carson Beck didn’t play well.

Georgia didn’t cement a spot in the 12-team playoff before more than 105,000 including NBA star Kevin Durant, but the Bulldogs (6-1, 4-1 SEC) put themselves in a strong spot with five regular season games to go and wins over top 10 teams Texas and Clemson away from home. The SEC has no unbeatens and a whopping six SEC teams now are 6-1 overall.

The Bulldogs earned an emphatic 30-15 win over Texas on Saturday night and remain firmly in the College Football Playoff conversation.
