Kirby Smart’s Georgia Bulldogs enter Saturday’s Week 7 clash with Kentucky as the No. 1-ranked team in the Associated Press Top 25.

Smart was asked bout the No. 1 ranking when he visited “The Paul Finebaum Show” on UGA campus Friday. Finebaum asked Smart if being No. 1 “matters at all.” Smart said it does not matter right now, only come College Football Playoff time.

“Not really. I mean, it doesn’t,” Smart told Finebaum. “I think you worry more about the way it affects your players and the team and social media and those things but, it matters that you get in those playoffs. That’s the key, is being in the top four. It doesn’t matter what you’re ranked now or later. It matters at the end.”

A win over No. 11 Kentucky would help Smart’s squad boost its resume for No. 1 when the CFP selection committee starts ranking teams. UGA-UK face off at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday.
