ATHENS — It was another day at the office for Kirby Smart in Butts-Mehre Heritage Hall on Monday even if the rest of the world was looking at his Georgia football program in a different light.

Smart’s Bulldogs opened the week No. 1 in the AP Top 25 poll for the first time since the 2008 preseason poll and the first time in-season since the 1982 Bulldogs led by Herschel Walker.
