The College Football Playoff offers plenty of emotions, but with a quick turnaround in between games, it is important to keep those emotions in check so they don’t affect the game.

Kirby Smart joined the ESPN’s College GameDay on Monday to break down how the Bulldogs will respond after an emotional win against Ohio State on Saturday.

Smart said that the motivation of winning the national championship is fuel for the team as it prepares for the next week.

“Winning a ring,” Smart said. “That’s the motivation. You’ve got to get over that one quick and get on to the next one. Fortunately we have a little time in terms of we don’t have the 7-day turnaround we had coming back from Pasadena back in 2017 or 2018, whenever it was. But it’s going to be a quick turnaround because you’re used to having 28 days and now this thing slides to 7-8 days and it already feels like it’s upon us right now.”

The Bulldogs get a week to catch their breath after they won the Peach Bowl following a missed Ohio State field goal on Saturday. They take on TCU on Monday.

Another factor for the game will be injuries. The team was banged up over the course of the season and in the game on Saturday, but Smart thinks most of his guys will be good to go on Saturday.

“We’re hopeful to get pretty much all the guys back,” Smart said. “That’s the hope. We had a couple guys, Chaz Chambliss had a knee that hyperextended, we’re hopeful to get him back. We had some guys dropping there for a little bit, we were on our 2s and 3s in some spots. Some guys stepped up and played, that’s what you have to ask at the end of the year.”
