"I will never apologize for winning an SEC title." Those were Kirby Smart's words recently. In an era where conference championship success pales in comparison to College Football Playoff success, is this thinking the way of the past? Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss if Georgia is underachieving and should be concerned with its future. Is it possible Georgia's new ceiling is an SEC title? The guys don't think so.

Then, Ross Dellenger gives the latest update on the rule that would eliminate redshirts. Last week, Ross reported this news for the first time. Since then, there has already been movement. While an actual decision has not yet been reached, the latest development is whether or not seniors, who recently thought they had finished their collegiate careers, could get one more season if they had never redshirted. This creates a complicated scenario with the NFL Draft right around the corner and college basketball's transfer portal in full swing. The crew discusses what may happen as a result and if the transfer portal could reopen?

Later, Louisiana Tech has finally straightened out its 20-game schedule. Tech had planned to leave Conference USA for the Sun Belt, but Conference USA had already included them in next year's conference football schedule. At the same time, the Sun Belt had done the same since they were expecting them to join this fall. A resolution has finally been reached which will see Louisiana Tech pay a hefty exit fee to Conference USA. The guys discuss everything that happened in the situation. Plus, there's a new special teams rule that has the coaches up in arms. Andy breaks down what is going on.
