The national media is looking like a bunch of fools for doubting Kirby Smart's Georgia Bulldogs ahead of their Week 8 road match against the Texas Longhorns. 

Even Smart's son, Andrew, took a minute to troll ESPN after the Dawgs pulled off a 30-15 win over the Longhorns at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on Saturday night. 

The victory marked Smart's 100th as he became the fastest coach at an SEC school to reach that milestone. 

Georgia advanced to 6-1 on the season and moved up three spots in the latest AP Poll Top 25 rankings. 

Georgia now sits at No. 2 heading into their bye week while Oregon takes over the No. 1. spot from Texas. The Longhorns fall to No. 5.

More of the story: don't doubt Coach Smart. 

"Our whole program was being doubted," Smart said. "I mean, did you watch the show this morning? I didn't because I was in meetings, but I got 8,000 texts about it. Somebody was doubting us. Maybe it wasn't y'all, but there's a lot of people doubting our kids and the ability to go on the road and win. Look, we were able to win this game because of what we had done before this. Like, going to Kentucky and playing and going to Alabama and playing. We didn't flinch. You don't flinch when you've been in these battles."
